IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electric gardening appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of re, 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 t into a polarized extension cord only one
way. If the plug does not t fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t,
obtain a correct polarized extension cord.
5. A polarized extension cord will require the use
of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will t into the
polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does
not t fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the
plug still does not t, contact a qualied 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
