PLEASE READ - SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electr
ical appliance, basic precautions
should always be followed to assure maximum safety and
optimum performance. Read this manual before assem-
bling and operating this appliance. Failure to comply with
instructions may result in electrical shock, burns, fire, or
personal injury.
WARNING
1-1. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, BURNS, FIRE OR PERSONAL
INJURY:
1. FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS listed in
this manual before/during operation of this trimmer.
2. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK this
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized exten-
sion cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the extension cord, reverse the plug. Do not change
the plug in any way.
3.
INSPECT UNIT FOR DAMAGE to the housing or
plug. Keep all fasteners tight. Do not use if the trigger
does not turn the unit off properly. Never use unit if
cord or plug has been damaged, the motor or unit
itself is not working as it should or has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors or dropped in water. Never
operate with any air opening blocked. Keep air open-
ings free of debris that may reduce air flow. Replace
damaged parts that are chipped, cracked or damaged
in any way. Keep cutter knife sharp.
4.
DOUBLE INSULATED to help protect against
electric shock. Double insulation construction
consists of 2 separate “layers” of electric insulation.
Appliances b
uilt with this insulation system are not
intended to be g
rounded.
As a result, the e
xtension
cord used with your unit can be plugged into any con-
v
entional 120 v
olt electr
ical outlet.

LIRE ET CONSERVER CES
INSTRUCTIONS
Lorsqu'un appareil électr
ique est utilisé, des précautions
élémentaires doivent toujours être prises pour assurer une
sécurité maximum et une performance optimale. Lire cette
Notice avant d'assembler et d'utiliser cet appareil. Ne pas
se conformer aux instructions peut causer des secousses
électriques, des brûlures, un incendie ou des blessures
corporelles.
AVERTISSEMENT
POUR RÉDUIRE LES RISQUES DE
BRÛLURES, D'INCENDIE, DE SECOUSSES
ÉLECTRIQUES OU DE BLESSURES :
1. RESPECTER TOUTES LES MESURES DE
SÉCURITÉ figur
ant dans cette Notice avant et durant
l'utilisation du coupe-herbe.
2. POUR RÉDUIRE LES RISQUES DE SECOUSSES
ÉLECTRIQUES, cet équipement est muni d'une fiche
polarisée (une broche est plus large que l'autre).
Cette fiche ne peut être branchée que dans un sens
et que dans une prise de courant polarisée. Si la fiche
ne peut pas être enfoncée à fond dans la prise de
courant, inverser le sens de la fiche. Ne jamais modi-
fier la fiche de l'appareil.
3. INSPECTER L'APPAREIL À LA RECHERCHE DE
DOMMAGES qu'auraient pu subir le carter, le cordon
électrique ou à la fiche. Toutes les fixations doivent
être bien serrées. Ne pas utiliser l'appareil si la
gâchette ne permet pas de l'arrêter adéquatement.
Ne jamais utiliser l'appareil si le cordon électrique ou
la fiche est endommagé, si le moteur ou le coupe-
herbe lui-même ne fonctionne pas correctement ou
s'il est tombé, s'il a été endommagé, laissé à l'ex-
tér
ieur ou plongé dans l'eau.
Ne pas utiliser l'appareil
si les trous de ventilation sont bouchés. Toujours
enle
v
er les débris qui risqueraient de limiter la circula-
tion de l'air par les trous de v
entilation.
Remplacer les
pièces endommagées qui sont ébréchées, cassées
ou qui ont été endommagées d'une manière ou d'une
autre et qui r
isquer
aient d'être projetées et causer de
graves blessures. Garden le couteau de coupeur
aigu.
4.
DOUBLE ISOLA
TION
pour protéger l'utilisateur
des risques de secousses électriques. La double
isolation consiste en deux «couches» d'isolant élec
-
tr
ique
.
Les appareils constr
uits a
vec ce type d'isola-
tion ne sont pas conçus pour être mis à la terre. Par
conséquent, le cordon prolongateur utilisé a
vec le
coupe-herbe peut être br
anché dans n'impor
te quelle
prise de courant de 120 volts. Des mesures de sécu-
r
ité élémentaires doivent toujours être prises
lorsqu'un appareil électr
ique est utilisé.
La doub
le iso
-
lation constitue seulement une protection supplémen-
taire en cas de défaillance de l'isolant interne.
5.
CORDON PR
OLONGATEUR
- Ne br
ancher cet
appareil que dans un cordon prolongateur conçu pour
usage extérieur et d'un calibre adéquat en fonction de
sa longueur. Voir le tableau ci-dessous. Un cordon
prolongateur à 2 conducteurs ne possédant pas de
connexion à la terre peut être utilisé étant donné que
cet appareil est à double isolation. Si l'on n'est pas sûr
du calibre du cordon prolongateur à utiliser, utiliser un
cordon prolongateur de calibre immédiatement
supérieur. Il est à noter que plus le numéro du calibre
est petit plus le cordon prolongateur est gros.
(1). Un cordon prolongateur de diamètre approprié doit
être utilisé pour éviter les pertes de puissance et la
surchauffe de l'appareil.
(2). Le cordon prolongateur doit être spécialement conçu
pour usage extérieur et porter la mention «SJ» ou
«SJT» et le suffixe «WA». Au Canada, le cordon pro-
longateur doit porter la mention «SFTW».
(3). S'assurer que le cordon prolongateur ne comporte
pas de fils dénudés ni desserrés et que l'isolant n'est
pas endommagé. En cas de dommages, remplacer le
cordon prolongateur avant d'utiliser l'appareil.
NE PAS MALTRAITER LE CORDON - Ne jamais
transporter l'appareil par le cordon électrique ni tirer
sur le cordon électrique pour débrancher l'appareil. Le
cordon électrique doit toujours être tenu à l'écart de
l'opérateur et des obstacles. Ne pas exposer le cordon
électrique à des surfaces chaudes, de l'huile ou de
l'eau. Ne pas tirer le cordon électrique autour d'angles
vifs, de coins et veiller à ne pas le coincer dans une
porte en la fermant.
6. AUCUNE PIÈCE INTERNE N'EST RÉPARABLE
PAR L'UTILISATEUR - Cet appareil à double
isolation ne comporte aucune pièce interne réparable
par l'utilisateur. Ne pas essayer de le réparer soi-
même. Pour tout renseignement concernant l'entre-
tien, s'adresser à un Centre de réparation Yard
Machines dont le numéro figure sur la couverture
arrière de cette Notice d'utilisation.
7. DANGER POUR LES YEUX - Toujours porter des
lunettes de sécur
ité ou tout autre dispositif de protec
-
tion des y
eux lorsqu'on utilise le coupe-herbe
.
Lorsque l'on taille des bordures, les débris projetés
augmentent le r
isque de b
lessures. Personne ne doit
s'approcher de la z
one de tr
a
v
ail.

de coupe en rotation.
Ne pas utiliser si le bouclier à
debris n'est pas en place.
9.
BIEN S'HABILLER - Toujours porter des pantalons
longs, des chaussures et des gants. Ne jamais porter
de vêtements amples, de bijoux, de shorts ou de san-
dales. Ne jamais utiliser l'appareil si on est pieds nus.
10. LA ZONE DE TRAVAIL DOIT TOUJOURS ÊTRE
DÉGAGÉE - Ne laissez personne, en particulier les
enfants et les animaux de compagnie, s’approcher de
la zone dans laquelle vous travaillez à moins de 50
pieds (15 mètres). Arrêter l'appareil dès que
quelqu'un s'en approche. Ne jamais laisser les
enfants utiliser cet appareil en tant que jouet et ne
jamais les laisser utiliser l'appareil sans surveillance.
11.
ÉVITER LES MILIEUX D
ANGEREUX
- P
our éviter
les r
isques d'incendie ou d'explosion, ne pas utiliser
l'appareil à proximité de liquides ou de gaz inflamma-
bles ou de matériaux en combustion ou dégageant de
la fumée. Ne pas utiliser le coupe-herbe dans les
endroits humides ou mouillés, autour des piscines, de
cuves à remous, etc. ou lorsqu'il pleut. Ne pas touch-
er à la fiche, au cordon électrique ou à l'appareil si on
a les mains mouillées.
12.
UTILISER ADÉQUATEMENT L'APPAREIL - Utiliser
l'appareil exclusivement pour les applications prévues
dans cette Notice. NE PAS UTILISER LE COUPE-
HERBE POUR BALAYER - c'est-à-dire déplacer la
tête de coupe de gauche à droite pour nettoyer les
débris des trottoirs, des allées, etc. Ce coupe-herbe
est un outil puissant qui peut projeter des débris à
plus de 50 pieds et blesser quelqu'un ou endommager
les voitures, les fenêtres ou les habitations proches.
Inspecter la zone de travail avant de mettre l'appareil
en marche et la débarrasser des débris et des autres
objets qui pourraient éventuellement causer des dom-
mages.
13.
NE JAMAIS UTILISER D'ACCESSOIRES autres que
ceux r
ecommandés et four
nis par Yard Machines. Ne
pas utiliser de fils de coupe métalliques.
14. NE PAS TENIR L'APPAREIL À BOUT DE BRAS.
Toujours garder bon pied et un bon équilibre.
15. ÉVITER LES DÉMARRA
GES A
CCIDENTELS
- Ne
pas por
ter l'appareil pendant qu'il est br
anché et alors
qu'on a le doigt sur la gâchette.
16.
DÉBRANCHER l'appareil de la prise de courant
quand il n'est pas utilisé ou a
v
ant d'entretenir la tête
de coupe
.
17.
REMISER le coupe-herbe à l'intérieur - Lorsqu'il n'est
pas utilisé, l'appareil doit être remisé dans un endroit
sec, verrouillé ou inaccessible aux enfants.
18. Ne pas saisir les lames de coupe ou les bords de
coupe e
xposés lorsque ous prenez ou tenez l’ap-
pareil.
19. Ne pas forcer avec l’appareil - il fonctionnera mieux
et il y aura moins de risques d’accident s’il fonctionne
à la vitesse pour laquelle il a été prévu.
