the use of a polarized extension cord.
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

(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 an added measure
of safety.
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.
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 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 1
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle
retaining straps or connectors
described in this manual.
Avoid unintentional starting. Don't
carry plugged-in appliance with finger
on switch. Be sure switch is off when
plugging in.
