purchase a polarized extension cord. If you have a polarized
extension cord and the extension cord plug does not t fully
into the wall receptacle, reverse the plug. If it still does not t,
contact a qualied electrician to install the proper outlet. Do
not change the appliance or extension cord plug in any way.
IMPORTANT: Check the extension cord frequently during
use for holes or cracks in the insulation. Do not use a
damaged cord. Do not run the cord through standing
water or wet grass.
Use only an extension cord recommended for outdoor use.
1. Make a loop in the extension cord (Fig. 7).
2. Insert the loop through the hole in the back of the upper
handle, securing the loop around the hook (Fig. 8).
Note: This helps to prevent you from accidently
disconnecting the extension cord from the appliance
during operation.
3. Connect the extension cord to the appliance electrical
cord (Fig. 9).
