READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Power Cord Safety

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. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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. 

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.

4. WARNING: The cord of this product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of 

California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after 

handling. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

5. 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.

Extension Cord Size

The following table shows the correct cord size to use depending on cord length and 

nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge 

number, the heavier the cord.
