Instructions Before Use

Before using this electric tool, carefully read and observe the

safety rules and instructions listed below. Before starting work,

make sure that you know how to stop the machine in case of

an emergency. The incorrect use of this machine could cause

serious injury. Keep these instructions in a safe place and on

hand so that they can be consulted when required.

DANGER!

The electric grass trimmer + edger should

only be used for cutting lawns and for trimming along the

borders of flower beds. Other uses of the trimmer + edger that

are not indicated in these instructions could damage the unit

or seriously injure the operator.

General Safety

1. Avoid dangerous environments – Do not use appliances

in damp or wet locations. Do not use in rain.

2. Keep children and bystanders away – Children and

other spectators, including pets, should be kept at least

50 feet (15 meters) away from the work area. When the

grass is cut, stones and debris contained in the grass can

be picked up by the trimmer + edger and dispersed into

the air. These flying projectiles can cause blindness or

other bodily injury.

3. Dress properly – Always wear suitable clothing when

using the trimmer + edger to prevent head, hand, or feet

injuries. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can

get caught in moving parts.

4. Use safety glasses – Also use safety footwear,

snug-fitting clothing, protective gloves, hearing and head

protection.

5. Use the right tools – Do not use tools for any job except

that for which they are intended.

6. Avoid unintentional starting – Do not carry plugged-in

tool with finger on the trigger. Make sure the switch is off

before plugging in the tool.

7. Do not abuse the cord – Never carry the tool by the cord

or yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle.

Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

8. Do not force the tool – It will do the job better and with

less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for which it

was designed.

9. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at

all times.

10. Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common

sense. Do not operate the trimmer + edger when you are

tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

11. Disconnect the tool –

Turn the trimmer + edger off and

disconnect the plug when: the unit is not in use; it is left

unattended; it is being examined because it is not working

correctly; the power supply cable is damaged; the blade is

being removed or changed; or when the trimmer is being

moved from one place to another.

12. Store idle tools indoors – When not in use, tools should

be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place out

of the reach of children.

13. Maintain tools with care – Keep cutting edges sharp

and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk

of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing

accessories. Inspect the trimmer + edger periodically and

replace if damaged. Repair the trimmer + edger only at an

authorized service facility. Keep handles dry, clean, and

free from oil and grease.

14. Checked for damaged parts – Before continuing to

use the trimmer + edger, 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 the alignment of moving parts, binding of

moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other

condition that may affect the tool’s operation. A guard or

other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or

replaced by an authorized service center unless indicated

elsewhere in this manual.

m

CAUTION!

The safety guard is critical to the safety of

the operator and the safety of people standing within a safe

distance of the trimmer + edger. The safety guard keeps the

unit in good working order and must always be in place during

operation. Failure to have the guard in place during operation

is dangerous and will void the warranty.

15. Keep away from the cutting line – It can seriously injure

the skin.

16. Do not try to stop the cutting device with your hands –

Always let it come to a stop by itself.

17. Inspect electrical cables – The insulation of the power

cord should be perfectly intact. If the power cord is

damaged or shows any signs of cracks, do not use the

trimmer. Contact your authorized Snow Joe
