S Avoid dangerous environments. Do not  
use in unventilated areas or where dust or  
explosive vapors can build up.  
DOUBLE INSULATION  
CONSTRUCTION  
Your powerhead should be double insulated to  
help protect against electric shock. Double in-  
sulation construction consists of two separate  
“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 inter-  
nal electrical insulation failure.  
S To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use  
extension cords specifically marked as  
suitable for outdoor appliances. The elec-  
trical rating of the cord must not be less than  
the rating of the unit. The cord must be  
marked with the suffix “W-A” (in Canada,  
“W”). Make sure your extension cord is in  
good condition. Inspect extension cord be-  
fore use and replace if damaged. An under-  
sized extension cord will cause a drop in  
line voltage resulting in loss of power and  
overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavi-  
er gauge. The smaller the gauge number,  
the heavier the cord.  
WARNING: All repairs to an electric  
powerhead, including housing, switch, motor,  
etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by quali-  
fied service personnel. Replacement parts for a  
double insulated appliance must be identical to  
the parts they replace. A double insulated  
appliance is marked with the words “double in-  
sulation” 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 construction to become inef-  
fective and result in serious injury.  
S Do not use multiple cords.  
S The powerhead may have a polarized plug  
(one blade is wider than the other); if so, it  
will require the use of a polarized extension  
cord. The appliance plug will fit into a polar-  
ized 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 re-  
quire 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 wall  
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,  
contact a qualified electrician to install the  
proper wall outlet. Do not change the equip-  
ment plug, extension cord receptacle, or  
extension cord plug in any way.  
UNIT/MAINTENANCE SAFETY  
WARNING: Disconnect powerhead  
spark plug (or disconnect powerhead from  
power source) before performing mainte-  
nance.  
S Inspect entire unit before each use. Re-  
place damaged parts. Check for fuel leaks.  
Make sure all fasteners are in place and se-  
curely fastened.  
S Maintain unit according to recommended  
procedures.  
S Have all maintenance and service not ex-  
plained in this manual performed by an au-  
thorized service center.  
S Throw away tines that are bent, warped,  
cracked, broken, or damaged in any other  
way. Replace parts that are cracked,  
chipped, or damaged before using the unit.  
S Use only recommended Weed Eater! parts  
and accessories. Never use wire, wire  
rope, string, flailing devices, etc.  
S Be sure tines stop turning when engine  
idles (see CARBURETOR ADJUST-  
MENTS section of powerhead manual).  
S Remove the tines before making carburetor  
adjustments. Hold the unit by hand.  
S Keep others away when making carburetor  
adjustments.  
S Never start the unit with the clutch housing  
removed. The clutch can fly off and cause  
serious injury.  
S Avoid heavy contact with solid objects that  
might stop the tines. If heavy contact oc-  
curs, stop the unit and inspect for damage.  
S If tines strike 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  
before resuming operation of the unit.  
S Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect the in-  
sulation and connectors on the powerhead  
and extension cord before each use. If  
there is any damage, do not use until dam-  
age is repaired by your authorized service  
center.  
S Do not pull or carry by cord; do not use cord  
as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull  
cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep  
cord away from heated surfaces. Do not  
unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp  
the plug, not the cord.  
S Do not use the powerhead if the switch  
does not turn the unit on and off properly.  
Have the unit repaired by your authorized  
service center.  
S Keep the extension cord clear of operator  
and obstacles at all times. Do not expose  
cords to heat, oil, water, or sharp edges.  
S Avoid any body contact with any grounded  
conductor, such as metal fences, or pipes,  
to avoid the possibility of electric shock.  
Don’t handle plug or unit with wet hands.  
S Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If  
powerhead is not working as it should, has  
been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or  
dropped into water, return it to your autho-  
rized service center for repair.  
S Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)  
protection should be provided on the circuit  
or outlet to be used for the powerhead. Re-  
ceptacles are available having built-in  
GFCI protection and may be used for this  
measure of safety.

S Never douse or squirt the attachment with  
water or any other liquid. Clean unit and de-  
cals with a damp sponge (see STORAGE).  
If situations occur which are not covered in  
this manual, use care and good judgment. If  
you need assistance, call 1-800-554-6723.  
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.  
CULTIVATING SAFETY  
WARNING: Inspect the area to be cul-  
tivated before each use. Remove objects  
(rocks, vines, branches, broken glass, nails,  
wire, string, etc.) which can be thrown by the  
tines or can wrap around the shaft.  
S Hold the unit firmly with both hands.  
S Keep firm footing and balance. Do not over-  
reach or stand on unstable surfaces.  
S Look behind and use care when backing  
up.  
S Keep all parts of your body away from the  
tines and muffler.  
S Do not force the unit. Use only for jobs ex-  
plained in this manual. Use only for cultivat-  
ing. Do not abuse unit. Do not use in rain or  
wet locations.  
S Use only in daylight or good artificial light.
