WARNING! Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the state of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemical:
• Work in a well ventilated area,
• Work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using electric
gardening appliances, basic safety
precautions must always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
serious injury, including the following:
WARNING: READ ALL
INSTRUCTIONS.
1. FOR ALL DOUBLE- INSULATED
APPLIANCES
a) Replacement parts. When servicing use
only identical replacement parts.
b) 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 APPLIANCES
a) Avoid dangerous environment. Don’t
use appliances in damp or wet locations.
b) Don’t use in rain.
c) Keep children away. All visitors should
be kept at a distance from work area.
d) 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.
e) Use safety glasses. Always use face or
dust mask if operation is dusty.
f) Use right appliance. Do not use
appliance for any job except that for which
it is intended.
g) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
gardening appliance. Receptacles are
available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for an added measure of
safety.
h) WARNING! To reduce the risk of
electric shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor use,
such as an extension cord of cord type
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJOW-A, SJTW-A. or SJTOW-A.
i) 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 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 appliance cord from the extension cord
during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining
straps or connectors described in this
manual.
