READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using electric hedge trimmers, basic safety precautions always should be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

1. FOR ALL DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLI-

ANCES

1) Replacement parts -

When servicing use only identical replacement parts.

2) Polarized appliance connections -

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet.

This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

2. FOR ALL HEDGE TRIMMERS

1) Avoid Dangerous Environment – Don’t use hedge trimmers in damp or wet locations.

2) Don’t Use In Rain.

3) Keep Children Away - All visitors should be kept at a distance from work area.

4) Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Use of protective gloves and substantial footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

5) Use Safety Glasses - Always use face or dust mask if operation is dusty.

6) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the hedge trimmer. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for an added measure of safety.

7) Use Right Appliance - Do not use appliance for any job except that for which it is intended.

8) Warning - To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only with an extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as SW-A,

SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-

A, SJTW-A or SJTOW-A.

Exception No. I : This warning does not apply to a battery-operated hedge trimmer.

Exception No. 2: Types SOW, STW, SJOW,

SJTW, STOW, or SJTOW are alternative designations to Types SOW-A STW-A,

SJOW-A, SJTW-A, STOW-A or SJTOW-A, respectfully.

9) Extension Cord - Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 50.1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord. To reduce the risk of disconnection of hedge trimmer cord from the extension cord during operating:

i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 50.2, or

i¡) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or connectors described in this manual.

NOTE - Only the applicable parts of the Table need to be included.

10) Avoid Unintentional Starting - Don’t carry plugged-in hedge trimmer with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.

11) Don’t Abuse Cord - Never carry hedge trimmer by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

Exception: This warning does not apply to a battery-operated hedge trimmer with a separable battery.

12) Danger - Risk of Cut - Keep Hands Away

From Blades - Keep both hands on handles when power is on.

Do not attempt to remove cut material nor hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure trimmer switch is off when clearing jammed material from blades. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the hedge trimmer.

Caution - blades coast after turn off.

13) Don’t Force Hedge Trimmer - It will do the job better and with less risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.

14) Don’t Overreach - Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

15) Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing.

Use common sense. Do not operate hedge trimmer when you are tired.

16) Disconnect Hedge Trimmer - Disconnect the hedge trimmer from the power supply when not in use, before servicing, when changing accessories, and the like.

17) Store Idle Hedge Trimmer Indoors - When not in use, hedge trimmer should be stored indoors in dry, and high or lockedup place - out of reach of children.

18) Maintain Hedge Trimmer With Care -

Keep cutting edge sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

Inspect hedge trimmer cord periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

19) Check Damaged Parts - Before further use of the hedge trimmer, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation.

A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.

HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER

Note that the switch lever can be activated on three sides, giving you many choices for a comfortable grip. Before cutting an area, inspect it first and remove any foreign objects that could become thrown or entangled in the blades. Always hold the trimmer with both hands and with the blade away from you before turning it on.

When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action so that the stems are fed directly into the blade (See J & K).

Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before cutting. When operating, keep the cutting blades away from people and objects such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles, etc.

If the blade stalls, immediately stop the trimmer. Release the two switch levels (2 & 4) before attempting to clear jammed debris from the cutting blades.

Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.

Do not attempt to cut stems that are too thick for the cutting blade.

TOP CUTTING

Use a wide sweeping motion (See J). A slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of motion gives the best cutting results.

SIDE CUTTING

When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the bottom and cut upwards (See K), tapering the hedge inward at the top. This shape will expose more of the hedge, resulting in a more uniform growth.
