Your hedge trimmer has many features for making
trimming operations more pleasant and enjoyable.
Safety, performance and dependability have been
given top priority in the design of this hedge trimmer
making it easy to maintain and operate.
_1= CAUTION: Carefully read through this entire
owner's manual before using your new hedge
trimmer. Pay close attention to the Rules For
Safe Operation, Warnings and Cautions. If you
use your hedge trimmer properly and only for
what it is intended, you will enjoy years of safe,
reliable service.
,_ Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions, It means attention!!! Your
safety is involved.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your hedge trimmer has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120
volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor wilt overheat. If your hedge trimmer does not
operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and
the explanations with them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do
not by themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for
proper accident prevention measures.

_1= WARNING: Avoid dangerous
environment and guard against electric
shock hazard. Don't use trimmer in rain,
in damp or wet locations, or on wet
hedges and shrubbery. Use only
extension cords in good condition and
marked "suitable for use with outdoor
appliances" having electrical rating not
less than rating of trimmer. Do not use
damaged extension cords. Inspect cords
periodically and replace if damaged. Do
not abuse cord. Never carry trimmer by
cord. Do not yank cord to disconnect
from receptacles. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving
blades.
_L WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric
shock, use only with an extension cord
intended for outdoor use, such as SW-A,
SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJOW-A, SJTW-A or SJTOW-A.
WHEN OPERATING YOUR TRIMMER -

Never drape it over hedge being trimmed.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY, Do not permit
children to contact trimmer or extension
cord. Keep children asafe distance from
work area.
USE TRIMMER PROPERLY, Use only for
trimming the type of shrub, growth, etc,

facility. Inspect extension cord periodically
and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry,
clean, and free from oil and grease.
STORE TRIMMER INDOORS. When not in
use, store trimmer indoors in a dry place
where not accessible to children.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before futher
use of the hedge trimmer, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other condition that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repairec
or replaced by an authorized service center
unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR TRIM-

CAL CRAFTSMAN REPLACEMENT
PARTS.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTER-
RUPTER (GFCI) PROTECTION SHOULD
BE PROVIDED ON THE CIRCUIT(S) OR
OUTLET(S) TO BE USED FOR YOUR
HEDGE TRIMMER. Receptacles are avail-
able having built-in GFCI protection and
may be used for this measure of safety.

RULESFORSAFEOPERATION(Continued)
EXTENSION CORDS. The use of any
extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep the loss to a minimum and
to prevent tool overheating, be sure to use
an extension cord heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. For
lengths less than 100 feet, No. 16 A.W.G.
extension cords should be used. Follow the
recommended cord sizes on the following
chart when using extension cords. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number the heavier the
cord. For tools rated 6 amps or less:
Extension Cord Length Wire Size A.W.G.
25 Feet 18
50 Feet 16
100 Feet 16
150 Feet 14
To reduce the risk of disconnection of hedge
trimmer from the extension cord during
operation:
(1) Use the extension cord retainer as shown
in Figure 5, or
(2) Make a knot as shown in Figure 6.
_, WARNING: Check extension cords before
each use. If damaged, replace immediately.
Never use tool with a damaged cord since
touching the damaged area could cause
qlectrical shock resulting in serious injury.
POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this appliance has a polar-
ized plug (one blade is wider than the other)
and will require 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, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized
extension cord. A polarized extension cord
will require the use of a polarized wall
outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized
wall outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not change the equipment plug,
extension cord receptacle, or extension
cord plug in any way.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to
them frequently and use them to instruct
others who may use this tool. If you loan
someone this tool, loan them these instruc-
tions.
WARNING:
The operation of any hedge trimmer can result in foreign objects being thrown into your
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation,
always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when
needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard
safety glasses with side shields, available at Sears Retail Stores.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
_i, WARNING: Your hedge trimmer should never be plugged in while you are assembling parts or making
adjustments. Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and afull face shield if needed
when operating your hedge trimmer,

DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN BE-
COME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY
DANGEROUS. Continue to holdyour trimmerby
the insulated handles and immediatelyunplug

If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge
level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Then,
stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this height.
Trim the hedge just above this guide line of string.

be slightly narrower at the top as shown in Figure 9.
More of the hedge will be exposed when shaped this
way and its growth will be more uniform.
