ELECTRICAL  
DOUBLE INSULATION  
EXTENSION CORDS  
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power  
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-  
wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are  
isolated from the internal metal motor components with  
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need  
to be grounded.  
When using a power product at a considerable distance from  
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has  
the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An  
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in  
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine  
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only  
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories  
(UL) should be used.  
WARNING:  
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension  
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is  
designated with “WA” on the cord’s jacket.  
The double insulated system is intended to protect  
the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s  
internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions  
to avoid electrical shock.  
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or  
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.  
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires  
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be  
performed only by a qualified service technician. For service,  
we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized  
service center for repair. Always use original factory replace-  
ment parts when servicing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION  
**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.  
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should  
be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, AC only  
(normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this  
product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop  
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If  
your product does not operate when plugged into an outlet,  
double-check the power supply.  
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge  
WARNING:  
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.  
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,  
tools, or other obstructions while you are working with  
a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious per-  
sonal injury.  
GFCI  
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be  
provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the prod-  
uct. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection  
and may be used for this measure of safety.  
WARNING:  
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged  
replace immediately. Never use product with a damaged  
cord since touching the damaged area could cause elec-  
trical shock resulting in serious injury.

ADVANCING THE STRINGS MANUALLY  
Disconnect the string trimmer from the power supply, then  
push the spool retainer button in while pulling on strings to  
manually advance the strings.  
CUT OFF BLADE  
This trimmer is equipped with a cut-off blade on the grass  
deflector. For best cutting, advance strings until they are  
trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance strings  
whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal,  
or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain  
best performance and keep strings long enough to advance  
properly.  
CUTTING TIPS  
See Figure ꢅ.  
TELESCoPIng  
BooM CoUPLER  
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is  
the best cutting area.  
The string trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left  
to right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.  
Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in figure 8.
