13. Keep cutting blades sharp and clean – Properly
maintained cutting blades with sharp edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
14. Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting
blades – Do not remove cut material or hold material to be
cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is o
when clearing jammed material. A moment of inattention
while operating the product may result in serious personal
injury.
15. Check for damaged parts – Before further use of the
appliance, 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
the alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that
may aect the tool’s 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.
16. If the hover blade grass cutter strikes a foreign object,
follow these steps:
i) Stop the hover blade grass cutter by releasing the
start/stop switch bar lever.
ii) Unplug the cord.
iii) Inspect for damage.
iv) Repair any damage before restarting and operating
the hover blade grass cutter.
17. Only use identical replacement blades and other genuine
parts.
18. Keep guards in place and in proper working order.
Electrical Safety
1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
hover blade grass cutter. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure
of safety.
2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other).
Use this appliance only with a polarized, UL-listed (CSA
certied in Canada) extension cord recommended for
outdoor use. The appliance plug will t into a polarized
extension cord only one way.
If the appliance plug does not t fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t, obtain
a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension
cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet.
The extension cord plug will t into the polarized wall
outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the
wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t,
contact a qualied electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
3. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW, SOW, STW, STOW,
SJTW, or SJTOW.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
4. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the
extension cord during operation, make a knot with the two
cords as shown in Table 1.
5. Do not abuse the cord. Never pull the hover blade grass
cutter by the cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from
the receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.

m WARNING m
Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH. Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the hover blade grass cutter
to make contact with water while it is in operation. If
the appliance becomes wet while turned o, wipe dry
before starting.
• Use only a UL-, CSA-, or ETL-rated extension cord for
outdoor, all-weather use.
• Do not use an extension cord over 100 ft (30 m).
• Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands
or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots
oers some protection.
