steps: stop unit and disconnect spark plug

S Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the circuit or
outlet to be used for the powerhead. Recep-
tacles are available having built-in GFCI
protection and may be used for this measure
of safety.
EDGING SAFETY
Your powerhead should be double insulated
to help protect against electric shock. Double
insulation construction consists of two sepa-
rate “layers” of electrical insulation instead of
grounding. Tools and appliances built with a
double insulation system are not intended to
be grounded. Safety precautions must be ob-
served when operating any electrical tool.
The double insulation system only provides
added protection against injury resulting from
an internal electrical insulation failure.
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
are approached.
S Hold the unit firmly with both hands.
S Keep firm footing and balance. Do not over-
reach or stand on unstable surfaces.
S Always keep the wheel in contact with the
ground.
S Keep all parts of your body away from the
blade and muffler.
S Always push the unit slowly over the ground.
Stay alert for uneven sidewalks, holes in the
terrain, large roots, etc.
S Do not force the unit. Use only for jobs ex-
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.
WARNING: All repairs to an electric
powerhead, including housing, switch, motor,
etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qual-
ified service personnel. Replacement parts
for a double insulated appliance must be iden-
tical to the parts they replace. A double insu-
lated appliance is marked with the words
“double insulation” or “double insulated”. The
symbol
(square within a square) may also
be marked on the appliance. Failure to have
the unit repaired by your authorized service
dealer can cause the double insulation con-
struction to become ineffective and result in
serious injury.
UNIT/MAINTENANCE SAFETY
S Objects struck by the cutting member can
cause serious injuries to persons. The lawn
should always be carefully examined and
cleared of all objects prior to edging.
S Never operate without blade shield in place.
WARNING: Disconnect powerhead
spark plug (or disconnect powerhead from
power source) before performing mainte-
nance.
S Inspect entire unit before each use. Replace
damaged parts. Check for fuel leaks. Make
sure all fasteners are in place and securely
fastened.

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 been linked to blood vessel dam-
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.
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE
S Do not grasp or hold exposed blade.
S Stop powerhead before leaving work area.
S Allow powerhead and gearbox to cool before
storing or transporting it in a vehicle.
S Store unit and fuel in area where fuel vapors
cannot reach sparks or open flames from wa-
ter heaters, electric motors or switches, fur-
naces, etc.
S Store attachment so blade cannot accidental-
ly cause injury.
S Store attachment indoors, out of reach of chil-
dren.
If situations occur which are not covered in
this manual, use care and good judgment. If
