GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

REMINGTON Blaze RM4522TH - GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS - 1

WARNING: Read all safely warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and Instructions for future reference.

The term " power tool " in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool .

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c> Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
DO NOT start the operation until the work area is clear and free from obstructions and there is secure footing.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GECL) protected supply. Use of a GECL reduces the risk of electric shock.
NOTE: The term "ground fault circuit interrupter (GFC)" may be replaced by the term residual current device (RCD) or "earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)".
- Make sure the extension cord is heavy enough to carry the current drawn by the unit. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

REMINGTON Blaze RM4522TH - GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS - 2

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, only use extension cords.

suitable for outdoor use, such as SW, SOW, STW, STOW, SJW, SJOW, SJTW or SJTOW cord types.

DO NOT handle the unit, plug(s) or cord(s) with wet hands.
DO NOT operate the unit on wet surfaces.
DO NOT cut near electrical cables or power lines.
DO NOT use multiple extension cords.
- Keep the cords away from the cutting area and position the cords so that they will not be caught on branches or other obstacles that may bind or entangle the cords during operation.
- Keep the cords away from the operator's feet to prevent tripping.
Make sure the cords are in good condition. Inspect the power cord and extension cord periodically. Look closely for deterioration, cuts or cracks in the insulation. If the power cord is damaged, have it repaired by an authorized service center. If the extension cord is damaged, replace it. Do not use a damaged cord or plug.
- If the extension cord is damaged in any manner while plugged in, disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle.
- Since the unit is double-insulated, a 2-wire extension cord suitable for outdoor use (one without a ground) may be used. However, a 3-wire extension cord suitable for outdoor use (one with a ground) that uses a NEMA-type connector (parallel blade, U ground) can be used. Extension cords are available from local retailers.
- To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this unit has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The power cord plug will fit into a polarized 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 another polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet.
- A nameplate on your unit indicates the voltage used. Never connect the unit to an AC voltage that differs from this voltage.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) that will be used with the unit. For an extra measure of safety, use receptacles with built-in GFCI protection.
- To reduce the likelihood of disconnecting the extension cord from the unit, be sure to use the cord restraint provided.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skiid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards
DO NOT rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the unit.
DO NOT allow the unit to be used as a toy.
DO NOT attempt operations beyond the operator's capacity or experience.
- DO NOT leave the unit unattended while the unit is connected to the power source. Unplug the unit from the power source when not in use.
- Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the unit. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly.
- Never allow children to operate the unit.
- Make sure that all guards and safety attachments are properly installed before operating the unit. - Never allow bystanders to contact the unit or extension cord.

BASIC OPERATING PROCEDURES

REMINGTON Blaze RM4522TH - BASIC OPERATING PROCEDURES - 1

DANGER: If the trimmer blade gets caught on an electrical cord or wire, DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE! IT MAY BE ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Release the trimmer in the quickest and safest way. If possible, disconnect the damaged electrical cord or wire from its power source. If that is not possible, call an electrician, electrical contractor, or the power company for assistance. Failure to heed this danger warning will cause serious personal injury or possible death.

REMINGTON Blaze RM4522TH - BASIC OPERATING PROCEDURES - 2

WARNING: Do not attempt to remove cut material or hold material to be cut while the trimmer blade is moving. Do not grasp the trimmer blade when picking up or holding the unit. Make sure the unit is disconnected from the power source before clearing any jammed material from the trimmer blade.

IMPORTANT: Lubricate the trimmer blade before and after each use. Ignoring this step will decrease the life of the trimmer blade and hamper operation. Refer to Maintenance and Repair Instructions.
- Use the hedge trimmer for trimming and formling hedges, shrubs and bushes with a branch diameter of up to 3/4 of an inch (19 mm). For larger branches, use a non-powered saw or pruning saw.
Work slowly, while maintaining a proper grip and stance.
- Allow the unit to do the cutting. Forcing the unit through dense growth, or attempting to trim too much at one time, can cause the blade to bind and slow, reducing the cutting efficiency. Forcing the unit can also result in damage to the blade and can increase the chance of personal injury.

REMINGTON Blaze RM4522TH - BASIC OPERATING PROCEDURES - 3

  • When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that stems are fed directly into the trimer blade (Fig. 6). Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed easiest by using a sawing motion.
  • Release the switch trigger(s) as soon as the cut is completed. Allow the trimmer blade to come to a complete stop. Unnecessary wear may occur if the unit is run without a cutting load.
  • After completing the cut, wait for the trimmer blade to stop before moving the unit. Always stop the motor before moving from hedge to hedge.
  • If desired, use a string to help cut hedges level. Determine the desired height of the hedge, then stretch a length of string along the hedge at that height. Trim the hedge to just above the string line. Trim the side of the hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at the top. More of the hedge will be exposed when shaped this way, and it will appear more uniform.
  • Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dangerous.
  • Do not cut above shoulder height, as a hedge trimmer held higher is more difficult to control.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

REMINGTON Blaze RM4522TH - MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS - 1
