S Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use  
in unventilated areas or where dust or explo-  
sive vapors can build up.  
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.  
S To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use ex-  
tension cords specifically marked as suitable  
for outdoor appliances. The electrical 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 ex-  
tension cord is in good condition. Inspect ex-  
tension cord before use and replace if dam-  
aged. An undersized extension cord will  
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of  
power and overheating. If in doubt, use the  
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge  
number, the heavier the cord.  
WARNING: All repairs to an electric  
powerhead, including housing, switch, motor,  
etc., must bediagnosed andrepaired by qual-  
ified service personnel. Replacement parts  
for a doubleinsulated 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  
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 polarized ex-  
tension 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 cor-  
rect polarized extension cord. A polarized ex-  
tension 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 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 equipment plug, extension cord recep-  
tacle, or extension cord plug in any way.  
S Do not attempt to repair unit. Inspect the insu-  
lation and connectors on the powerhead and  
extension cord before each use. If there is  
any damage, do not use until damage is re-  
paired by your authorized service dealer.  
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.  
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  
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.  
S Maintain unit according to recommended pro-  
cedures.  
S Throw away blades 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 Poulan PRO®  
parts and accessories. Never use wire,  
wire rope, string, flailing devices, etc.  
S Be sure blade stops turning when engine  
idles (see CARBURETOR ADJUST-  
MENTS section of powerhead manual).  
S Remove the blade before making carburetor  
adjustments. Hold the unit by hand. Do not  
make carburetor adjustments from the blade  
side of the unit.  
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 deal-  
er.  
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 pow-  
erhead is not working as it should, has been  
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped  
into water, return it to your authorized service  
for repair.  
S Keep others away when making carburetor  
adjustments.  
S Never start the unit with the clutch housing re-  
moved. The clutch can fly off and cause seri-  
ous injury.  
S Have all maintenance and service not ex-  
plained in this manual performed by an autho-  
rized service dealer.  
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.  
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 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.  
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.  
EDGING SAFETY  
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.

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 beenlinked to blood vesseldam-  
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  
children.  
If situations occur which are not covered in
