Regular users should have hearing checked regularly as motor noise can damage hearing. Secure hair above shoulder length. Secure or remove loose clothing and jewelry or clothing with loosely hanging ties, straps, tassels, etc. use in the presence of flammable liquids or gases to avoid creating a fire or explosion and/or causing damage to unit. 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 handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Turn off all controls before unplugging. Do not expose cords to heat, oil or water. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If unit is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to your authorized service dealer for repair. Unplug the unit from the power source when not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories and/or attachments. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow. • Use a voltage supply as shown on unit. • Avoid dangerous environments. Do notuse in unventilated areas or where dust or explosive vapors can build up. • To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this equipment has a polarized 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 plug does not fit fully into the walt outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper waft outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way. • To reduce risk of electrical shock, use extension cords specifically marked as suitable for outdoor appliances having electrical rating not tess than the rating of unit.

Double insulation construction consists of two separate"layers" of electrical insulation instead of grounding. Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. No grounding means is provided on this unit, nor should a means of grounding be added to this unit. As a result, the extension cord used with your unit can be plugged into any standard 120 volt electrical outlet. Safety precautions must be observed when operating any electrical tool. The double insulation system only provides added protection against injury resulting from an internal electrical insulation failure. A: WARNING: All electrical repairs to this unit, including housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qualified service personnel Replacement parts for a double insulated appliance must be recommended by the manufacturer. A double insulated 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 qualified service personnel can cause the double insulation construction to become ineffective and result in serious injury. PRUNER SAFETY • Do not operate a pruner with one hand. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders or any combination of these persons may result from one-handed operation. A pruner is intended for two-handed use. • If you strike or become entangted with a foreign object, stop the unit immediately and check for damage.

Keep the cord away from the cutting area. Position cord so it will not be caught on branches and the like during cutting. PRUNING II Second Third cut cut Coil First cut Pruning technique 1. Make the first cut 6 inches (15 cm) from the tree trunk on the bottom of the Hmb. Use top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut 1/3 through the diameter of the limb. NOTE: When making the second and third cuts. rest the foot of the pruner against the tree limb that is being cut to prevent whipping of the branch. _L, WARNING: Be alert for and guard against kickback. Do not allow the moving chain to contact any other branches or objects at the nose of the guide bar when pruning. Allowing such contact can result in serious injury. IMPORTANT POINTS • Work slowly, keeping both hands firmly gripped on the pruner. Maintain secure footing and balance. Plan cut carefully. Check direction branch will fall. • Watch out for springpoles. Springpoles are small size limbs which can catch the chain and whip toward you or pull you off balance. Use extreme caution when cutting small size limbs or slender material. • Watch out for branches immediately behind the branch being pruned. If the chain hits 2. 3. 13 Next, move 2 - 4 inches (5 - 10 cm) farther out on the limb and make a second cut all the way through the limb. Then. make a final cut leaving a 1 - 2 inch (2.5 - 5 cm) collar from the trunk of the tree to avoid damage to the tree.

You will achieve the best performance and minimum line wear by not crowding the line into the cutting area, The right and wrong ways are shown below. Line Crowded into Tip of the Line Does The Cutting J Work Area _,_ Cut from your right to your-left. WAR NIN G: Always wear eye protection. Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious injury. When operating unit, stand as shown and check for the following: • Wear eye protection and heavy clothing. • Hold trigger handie with right hand and assist handle with left hand. • Keep unit below waist level. • Cut from your right to your left to ensure debris is thrown away from you. Without bending over, keep line near and parallel to the ground and not crowded into material being cut. TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE The trimmer line will advance approximately 2 inches (5 cm) each time the bottom of the trimmer head is tapped on the ground with the engine running at fuli throttle. The most efficient line length is the maximum length allowed by the line limiter. Always keep the shield in place when the tool is being operated. To advance line: • Operate the engine/motor at full throttle. • Holdthetrimmerhead paralleltoandabove the grassy area. • Tap the bottom of the trimmer head tightIy on the ground one time. Approximately 2 inches (5 cm) of line will be advanced with each tap. Always tap the trimmer head on a grassy area. Tapping on surfaces such as concrete or asphalt can cause excessive wear to the trimmer head. If the Hne is worn down to 2 inches (5 cm) or less, more than one tap will be required to obtain the most efficient line length. • The line will easily remove grass and weeds from around wails, fences, trees and flower beds, but it also can cut the tender bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences. • For trimming or scalping, use tess than full throttle to increase line life and decrease head wear, especially: • During light duty cutting. • Near objects around which the line can wrap such as small posts, trees or fence wire. • For mowing or sweeping, use full throttle for a good clean job.
