WARNING To guard against injury
observe the following:
• Read instruction manual before using,
Save instruction manual.
• Keep hands on handles. Don't overreach.
• Do not use under wet conditions.
• Do not use with damaged extension
cords.
• Do not unplug or store with switch
locked on.
DANGER: KEEP HANDS AWAY
FROM BLADES.
CAUTION: BLADE COASTS AFTER
TURN OFF.

MAINTENANCE

The cutting blades are made from high
quality, hardened steel and with normal
usage, they will not require resharpening.
However, if you accidentally hit a wire
fence, stones, glass or other hard objects,
you may put a nick in the blade. There is
no need to remove this nick as long as it
does not interfere with the movement of
the blade. If it does interfere, unplug unit
and while wearing proper eye protection
use a fine toothed file or sharpening stone
to remove the nick.
If you drop the trimmer, carefully inspect it
for damage. If the blade is bent, housing
cracked, or handles broken or if you see
any other condition that may affect the
trimmer's operation, contact your local
Sears Service Center for repairs before
putting it back into use.
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals
contain agents which greatly accelerate
the corrosion of metals. Do not store the
tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or
chemicals.
With the unit unplugged, use only mild
soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into a
liquid.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY
and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance
and adjustment should be performed by
Sears service centers or other qualified
service personnel, always using identical
replacement parts.
ACCESSORIES
WARNING: DO NOT use the hedge
trimmer with any type of accessory or
attachment. Such usage might be
hazardous.
