General Safety
• AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS – Don’t use this
product in rainy, stormy, damp or wet locations. Do not
operate in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in
these products normally spark, and the sparks might
ignite fumes.
• DRESS PROPERLY – Don’t wear loose clothing or jewelry
and wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber
gloves and substantial footwear is recommended
when working outdoors.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES – Wear safety glasses with side
shields or goggles that are marked to comply with ANSI
Z87.1 standard when operating this product.
• USE DUST MASK – Wear face or dust mask when
operating this product.
• USE HEARING PROTECTION – Wear ear plugs or muffs
when operating this product.
• GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER – (GFCI) pro-
tection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to
be used for this product if you are using an extension cord.
Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used.
• DOUBLE INSULATION – This product has double insula-
tion. This means that all external metal parts are insulated
from the electrical supply. This is achieved by introducing
an insulation layer between electrical and mechanical
parts. The double insulation guarantees you the greatest
possible safety.
• EXTENSION CORD – Make sure your extension cord is
in good condition. Use only extension cords having an
electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. An
undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
• POLARIZED PLUGS – To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). This product must be used with a suitable
polarized extension cord. Polarized connections will t to-
gether only one way. Make sure that the receptacle end of
the extension cord has large and small blade slot widths. If
the plug does not t fully into the extension cord, reverse
the plug. If it still does not t, obtain a suitable extension
cord. Do not change the tool plug or extension cord in any
way.
m WARNING: Use outdoor extension cords marked
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or
SJTOWA. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electric shock.
• DISCONNECT UNIT from the power supply when not
in use or when servicing or cleaning. Do not leave unat-
tended.
• DON’T ABUSE CORD – Never carry or pull this product by
the cord or yank the cord to disconnect from the recepta-
cle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• STAY ALERT – Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate the garden shredder when you are
tired or under the inuence of drugs or medication.
• STORE IDLE UNIT INDOORS – When not in use, the
garden shredder should be stored indoors in a dry and
high or locked-up place, out of children’s reach.
• MAINTAIN UNIT WITH CARE – Keep clean for best
performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Inspect
extension cord periodically and replace if damaged. Keep
handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
• CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS – Before further use of
the product, any part that is damaged should be care-
fully 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. Any part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced. Call our customer service help line
for assistance at 1-866-766-9563 for assistance.
