The appliance 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 a correct 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.
Do not change the equipment plug,
extension cord receptacle, or extension
cord plug in any way.
b) For aLL aPPLiaNCES
1) Avoid Dangerous Environment - Don't use
appliances in damp or wet locations.
2) Don't Use In Rain.
3) Keep Children Away - All visitors should be
kept at a distance from work area.
4) Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. They can be caught in moving
parts. Use of rubber gloves and substantial
Leaf mulcher
footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
5) Use Safety Glasses - Always use face or
dust mask if operation is dusty.
6) Use Right Appliance - Do not use appliance
for any job except that for which it is
intended.
7) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
gardening appliance. Receptacles are
available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for this measure of
safety.
8) warNiNg -To reduce the risk of electric
shock, use only with an extension cord
intended for outdoor use, such as an
extension cord of cord type SW-A, SOW-A,
STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A. or SJTOW-A.
Exception: Types SW, SOW, STW, STOW,
SJW, SJOW, SJTW. and SJTOW are
alternative designations to Types SW-A,
SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A. and SJTOW-A, respectfully.
9) Extension Cord - Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized extension cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. Table 57 .1
shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the
cord. To reduce the risk of disconnection
of appliance cord from the extension cord
during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 57.2; or
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining
straps or connectors described in this
manual.
10) Avoid Unintentional Starting - Don't carry
plugged-in appliance with finger on switch.
Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
11) Don't Abuse Cord - Never carry appliance
by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle.
