2.5 SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2.6 ELECTRICAL
WARNING
The double insulated system is intended to protect the user
from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s internal
insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid
electrical shock.
Electrical connection
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC only (normal
household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this product on
direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a
loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the product does
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply.
Extension cords
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a
power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the
capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the
minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round
jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL)
should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
A proper extension cord is available at an authorized service
center.
It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a
knot to prevent them from becoming disconnected during use.
Make the knot as shown in the figure, then connect the plug
end of the power cord into the receptacle end of the extension
cord. This method can also be used to tie two extension cords
together.

Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position
the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools, or
other obstructions while you are working with a power tool.
Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace
immediately. Never use the product with a damaged cord
since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock
resulting in serious injury.
2.7 HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
• Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer.
Using one hand could cause loss of control and result
in serious personal injury.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade.
Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Blades coast after turn off.
Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed
material. A moment of inattention while operating the
hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing
the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce
possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
• DANGER – Keep hands away from blade.Contact with
blade will result in serious personal injury.
• Keep cable away from cutting area.During operation
the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be
accidentally cut by the blade.
• Always store idle power tools indoors. When not in use,
power tools should be stored indoors in a dry place, out
of reach of children.
