_t_WARNING!

To avoid electrical

hazards,

GROUNDING

fire hazards, or damage to the toot, use proper circuit
protection. Your line trimmer is wired at the factory for
120 v operation. Connect to a 120 v, 15 a circuit, and
use a 15 a time-delayed fuse or circuit breaker. To
avoid shock or fire, if the extension cord is worn, cut or
damaged in any way, replace it immediately.

DOUBLE

INSULATION

See Figure 2.
The line trimmer is double insulated to provide a
double thickness of insulation between you and the
tool's electrical system. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protective insulation.

WARNING!

BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least
resistance for electric current, and reduces the risk of
electric shock. This too! is equipped with a POLARIZED
plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching
grounded extension cord in accordance with All local
codes and ordinances. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG
PROVIDED. If it will not fit the properly grounded
extension cord, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

_IL CAUTION!

FOR USING EXTENSmON CORDS

USE THE PROPER

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
cord will cause overheating. The table below shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person
before use. Keep extension cords away from sharp
objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas Use
a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit
should comprise a wire of at least 12 gauge and should
be protected with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before
connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the

is identical to that stamped on the motor nameplate.
