mCAUTION!

Before using this electric tool, carefully read and observe the

safety rules and instructions listed below. Before starting work,

make sure that you know how to stop the machine in case of

an emergency. The incorrect use of this machine could cause

serious injury. Keep these instructions in a safe place and on

hand so that they can be consulted when required.

mCAUTION!

The electric grass trimmer + edger should only be used for

cutting lawns and for trimming along the borders of ower

beds. Other uses of the trimmer + edger that are not indicated

in these instructions could damage the trimmer + edger or

seriously injure the operator.

GENERAL Safety Rules

mWARNING! When using the electric grass trimmer

+ edger basic safety precautions should always be followed

to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and personal injury,

including the following:

A) FOR ALL DOUBLE–INSULATED APPLIANCES

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 (i.e.

one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use

of a polarized extension cord. The appliance plug will t

into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the 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. This plug will t into the polarized wall

outlet only one way. If the plug still does not t fully into

the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not

t, contact a qualied electrician to install a proper wall

outlet. Do not change the appliance plug, extension cord

receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

B) FOR ALL APPLIANCES

1. Avoid dangerous environments – Do not use appliances

in damp or wet locations. Do not use in rain.

2. Keep children and bystanders away – Children and

other spectators, including pets, should be kept at least

50 feet (15 meters) away from the work area. When the

grass is cut, stones and debris contained in the grass can

be picked up by the trimmer + edger and dispersed into

the air. These ying projectiles can cause blindness or

other bodily injury.

3. Dress properly – Always wear suitable clothing when

using the trimmer + edger to prevent head, hand, or feet

injuries. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can

get caught in moving parts.

4. Use safety glasses – Also use safety footwear,

snug-tting clothing, protective gloves, hearing and head

protection.

5. Use the right tools – Do not use tools for any job except

that for which they are intended.

6. Avoid unintentional starting – Do not carry plugged-in

tool with nger on the trigger. Make sure the switch is o

before plugging in the tool.

7. Do not abuse the cord – Never carry the tool by the cord

or yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

8. Do not force the tool – It will do the job better and with

less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for which it

was designed.

9. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at

all times.

10. Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common

sense. Do not operate the trimmer + edger when you are

tired, or under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.

11. Disconnect the tool – Turn the trimmer + edger o and

disconnect the plug when: the trimmer + edger is not in

use; it is left unattended; it is being examined because it is

not working correctly; the power supply cable is damaged;

the trimmer line is being removed or changed or when

the trimmer + edger is being moved from one place to

another.

12. Store idle tools indoors – When not in use, tools should

be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place out

of the reach of children.

The document describes the SUNJOE ELECTRIC SHARPERBLADE™ TRIMMER + EDGER (Model SB602E), a versatile electric tool designed for cutting lawns and trimming along flower bed borders. It emphasizes safety, proper usage, and maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Function Description

The SharperBlade™ Trimmer + Edger is a 2-in-1 electric tool that functions as both a grass trimmer and an edger. Its primary purpose is to cut grass and weeds in areas inaccessible to traditional lawn mowers, such as under bushes, on slopes, and along edges. The tool is designed for outdoor use only, within an ambient temperature range of 32°F (0°C) to 113°F (45°C).

Trimming: In trimming mode, the tool is held with the head above the ground and at an angle, allowing the SharperBlade™ to make contact with the vegetation. Users are advised not to force the blade into the work area. Scalping: This technique involves holding the trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground at an angle to remove unwanted vegetation down to the ground. It's used to strike the ground around trees, posts, and monuments, though it increases SharperBlade™ wear. Mowing: For mowing in places conventional lawn mowers cannot reach, the SharperBlade™ is kept parallel to the ground. Users should avoid pressing the head into the ground to prevent scalping and tool damage. Edging: The tool can be converted into an edger by sliding the Twist-N-Groom™ locking collar downward and twisting the handle clockwise to adjust the trimmer head to a 180° angle. This allows for precise edging along pathways and borders. To convert back to a trimmer, the process is reversed, adjusting the head to a 0° angle. Sweeping: A fanning action can be used for quick clean-up by holding the SharperBlade™ parallel to and above the surfaces being swept and moving the tool from side to side.

The tool is double-insulated, meaning it provides two systems of insulation instead of grounding, eliminating the need for a separate grounding system. This design requires extreme care during servicing, which should only be performed by qualified service personnel using identical replacement parts.

Safety Lock Button + ON/OFF Trigger Switch: The tool is switched ON by pressing and holding the safety lock button, then squeezing the ON/OFF trigger switch. Releasing the trigger switches the tool OFF.
Extension Cord Restraint Hook: Helps prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the extension cord during operation.
Polarized Plug: Designed to reduce the risk of electric shock, requiring a polarized extension cord.
SharperBlade™: The unique blade design is more rigid than string, requiring a different approach to operation. Users are advised to use minimal pressure, especially when edging against hard surfaces, to prolong blade life. The blade should be kept just off the hard surface, and the tool should not be forced.

Maintenance Features

Regular Cleaning: After each cutting operation, the trimmer, edger, and guard should be thoroughly cleaned to remove grass and soil. Air vents should be kept clean and free from grass.
Blade Inspection and Replacement: The SharperBlade™ should be inspected periodically for damage and replaced if necessary. Only original SharperBlade™ replacement blades should be used.
Screw Tightness: Users are advised to regularly check that all screws are tight.
Lubrication: Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Authorized Service: For repairs not explained in the manual, or if the tool is not working correctly, contact an authorized service center. Internal parts should not be accessed or repaired by the user.
Storage: The tool should be stored indoors in a dry, high, or locked-up place out of reach of children. It should be hung by the upper handgrip to prevent the guard from resting against a surface, which could alter its shape and dimensions, rendering the machine unsafe.
Cord Care: The power supply cable should be kept away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. It should not be abused by pulling or yanking to disconnect.
Cleaning Agents: Only use a cloth soaked with hot water and a soft brush for cleaning. Do not spray or wet the appliance with water, and avoid detergents or solvents, as these can damage plastic parts.
