S If blade strikes a foreign object, follow these  
steps: stop unit and disconnect spark plug  
wire (or disconnect from power source), in-  
spect for damage, and repair any damage be-  
fore resuming operation of the unit.  
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.

Safety Decals  
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

serious injury, make sure the blade has  
stopped coasting and disconnect the spark  
plug (or disconnect powerhead from power  
source) before performing work on the blade.  
CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR  
WORN PARTS
