IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electric gardening appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed 

to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Power Cord 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.

1. 

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.

2. 

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.

3. 

Do not Abuse Cord - 

Do not carry appliance 

by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. 

Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

4. 

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this 

appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is 

wider than the other) and will require 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. 

5. 

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.  This design is 

referred to as double-insulated, indicated by  .
