IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This 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 change the plug in any way.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Avoid running the engine indoors. The exhaust gasses contain harmful carbon.
When using your trimmer for the rst time, before beginning actual work, you should practice in a wide,
bright area.
Limit the amount of time of using the trimmer continuously to somewhere around 30-40 minutes per
session and take 10-20 minutes of rest between work sessions.
Be sure to wear proper clothing and safety gear when operating the trimmer. Safety gear includes a hel-
met, protective goggles, thick work gloves, non-slip work boots and ear protection. NEVER wear loose
tting clothes. Make sure long hair is tied back.
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s Phenomenon, which affects the ngers of certain
individuals, may be brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration and cold
may cause tingling and burning sensations, followed by loss of color and numbness in the ngers. The
following precautions are strongly recommended, because the minimum exposure, which might trigger
the ailment, is unknown. Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles, hands, and wrists.
Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work breaks, and
also by not smoking. Limit the hours of operation. Try to ll each day with jobs where operating the unit
or other hand-held power equipment is not required. If you experience discomfort, redness, and swelling
of the ngers followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult your physician before further exposing
yourself to cold and vibration.
Maintain footing and balance at all times. DO NOT stand on slippery, uneven or unstable surfaces. DO
NOT work in odd positions or on ladders. DO NOT over reach.
Use only XtremePowerUS approved attachments. Serious injury may result from the use of a non-
approved attachment combination. XtremePowerUS will not be responsible for the failure of cutting
devices, attachments or accessories which have not been tested and approved by XtremePowerUS.
Read and comply with all safety instructions listed in this manual and safety manual.
