boots, and gloves.  
use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will  
fit into the polarized wall outlet only one  
way. If plug does not fit fully into the wall  
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,  
contact a qualified electrician to install the  
proper walloutlet. Do not change the equip-  
ment plug, extension cord receptacle, or  
extension cord plug in any way.  
S Always wear foot protection. Do not go bare-  
foot or wear sandals.  
S Secure hair above shoulder length. Secure  
or remove loose clothing or clothing with  
loosely hanging ties, straps, tassels, etc.  
They can be caught in moving parts.  
S Being fully covered also helps protect you  
from debris and pieces of toxic plants thrown  
by spinning blade.  
S To reduce risk of electrical shock, use ex-  
tension cords specifically marked as suit-  
able for outdoor appliances having electri-  
cal rating not less than the rating of unit.  
Cord must be marked with suffix “W--A” (in  
Canada “W”). Make sure your extension  
cord is in good condition. Inspect extension  
cord before useand replaceif damaged. Do  
not use a damaged cord. Cord insulation  
must be intact with no cracks or deteriora-  
tion. Plug connectors must beundamaged.  
The extension cord used to reach the pow-  
er source must be heavy enough to carry  
current from the power source the full length  
of the extension cord to the unit. An under-  
sized extension cord will cause a drop in  
line voltage resulting in loss of power and  
overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavi-  
er gauge. The lower the gauge number, the  
heavier the cord.  
S Stay alert. Do not operate when you are tired,  
ill, upset, or under the influence of alcohol,  
drugs, or medication. Watch what you are do-  
ing; use common sense.  
S Wear hearing protection.  
S Never start or run inside a closed room or  
building. Breathing exhaust fumes can kill.  
S Keep handles free of oil and fuel.  
S Keep hands and feet away from cutting area.  
S Never direct discharge of material toward  
bystanders nor allow anyone near the area  
of operation. Use care in directing dis-  
charge to avoid glass enclosures, automo-  
biles, and the like.  
FUEL SAFETY (for gas powerheads)  
S Mix and pour fuel outdoors.  
S Keep away from sparks or flames.  
S Use a container approved for fuel.  
S Do not smoke or allow smoking near fuel or  
the powerhead.  
S Do not use multiple cords.  
S Do not abuse cord. Never carry the unit by  
the extension cord or yank extension cord  
to disconnect unit. To unplug, grasp the  
plug, not the cord. Do not use cord as a han-  
dle, close a door on cord, or pull cord  
around sharp edges or corners. Do not ex-  
pose cords to heat, oil, or water.  
S Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Wipe up all fuel spills  
before starting the powerhead.  
S Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from  
fueling site before starting powerhead engine.  
S Stop engine and allow to cool before remov-  
ing fuel cap.  
S Remove fuel cap slowly.  
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (for electric  
powerheads)  
S Keep the extension cord clear of operator and  
obstacles at alltimes. Tie cordto cord retain-  
er and connect to recessed plug as shown  
in this manual to prevent damage to unit  
and/or extension cord and to reduce the  
possibility of the extension cord discon-  
necting from the unit during operation.  
S Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect the insu-  
lation and connectors on the powerhead and  
extension cord before each use. If there is  
any damage, do not use until damage is re-  
paired by your authorized service dealer.  
S Do not use the powerhead if the switch  
does not turn the unit on and off properly.  
Have the unit repaired by your authorized  
service dealer.  
S Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If  
powerhead is not working as it should, has  
been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or  
dropped into water, return it to your autho-  
rized service dealer for repair.  
S Avoid unintentional starting of the unit. Nev-  
er carry unit with your finger on the switch.  
Be sure the switch is in the OFF position  
and never touch the switch when connect-  
ing extension cord.  
WARNING: Avoid a dangerous envi-  
ronment. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,  
do not use in rain, in damp or wet locations, or  
around swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not  
expose to snow, rain, or water to avoid the pos-  
sibility of electrical shock. Do not use on wet  
surfaces. Do not handle extension cord plug or  
unit with wet hands.  
S Use only a voltage supply as shown on the  
nameplate of the unit.  
S Avoid dangerous situations. Do not use in  
presence of flammable liquids or gases to  
avoid creating a fire or explosion and/or  
causing damage to unit.  
S Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use  
in unventilated areas or where dust or ex-  
plosive vapors can build up.  
S To reduce the risk of electric shock, the  
powerhead may have a polarized plug (one  
blade is wider than the other); if so, it will re-  
quire 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, re-  
verse the plug. If the plug still does not fit,  
obtain a correct polarized extension cord.  
A polarized extension cord will require the  
S Unplug the unit from the power source when  
not in use, before servicing, and when chang-  
ing accessories and/or attachments.  
S Avoid any body contact with any grounded  
conductor, such as metal fences, or pipes,  
to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

plained in this manual. Use only for edging.  
Do not abuse unit. Do not use in rain or wet  
locations.  
S To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow exces-  
sive grass, leaves, or grease to accumulate  
on the attachment.  
S Objects struck by the cutting member can  
cause serious injuries to persons. The lawn

ly cause injury.  
S Keep others away when making carburetor  
adjustments.  
S Store attachment indoors, out of reach of  
children.

this manual, use care and good judgment. If  
you need assistance, call 1-800-554-6723.  
SPECIAL NOTICE: Exposure to vibra-  
tions through prolonged use of gasoline pow-  
ered hand tools could cause blood vessel or  
nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and  
joints of people prone to circulation disorders  
or abnormal swellings. Prolonged use in cold  
weather has beenlinked to blood vesseldam-  
age in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms  
occur such as numbness, pain, loss of  
strength, change in skin color or texture, or  
loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints,  
discontinue the use of this tool and seek med-  
ical attention. An anti-vibration system does  
not guarantee the avoidance of these prob-  
lems. Users who operate power tools on a  
continual and regular basis must monitor  
closely their physical condition and the condi-  
tion of this unit.  
S Have all maintenance and service not ex-  
plained in this manual performed by an autho-  
rized service dealer.  
S If blade strikes a foreign object, follow these  
steps: stop unit and disconnect spark plug  
wire (or disconnect from power source), in-  
spect for damage, and repair any damage be-  
fore resuming operation of the unit.  
EDGING SAFETY  
WARNING: Inspect the area to be  
edged before each use. Remove objects  
(rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, string, etc.)  
which can be thrown by the blade or can wrap  
around the shaft.  
S Keep others including children, animals, by-  
standers, and helpers at least 50 feet (15 me-  
ters) away. Stop the unit immediately if you

EDGING  
WARNING: Make sure the locking/  
release button is locked in the primary hole  
and the knob is securely tightened before op-  
erating the unit. Using the wrong hole could  
lead to serious injury or damage to the unit.  
As you become familiar with use of your edger  
attachment, you will be able to determine your  
own operating pace. Conditions such as  
depth of cut and material being cut will regu-  
late the speed and time required for your edg-  
ing job.  
S Allow the engine to warm up before you begin  
edging.  
S Increase the engine speed before placing the  
blade in the cut. For best results, run the en-  
gine at full throttle while cutting.  
S Always work going away from people and  
solid objects such as walls, large stones,  
trees, automobiles, etc.  
S Be careful when edging near trees or valuable  
plants. The high speed metal blade may cut  
roots and cause damage to the plants.  
S If the blade stalls, immediately move the unit  
back slightly to allow the blade to restart. If the  
blade continues to stall, stop the engine, dis-  
connect the spark plug, and inspect for block-  
age or damage.
