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. 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. Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and grounding receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug.
4. This appliance should be grounded while in use to reduce the risk of electric shock to the operator. The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounding plug to fit the proper grounding receptacle. The green or green and yellow conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Do not connect the green or green and yellow wire to a live terminal.
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.

Extension Cord Size
3-Prong Plug
and Outlet
Your unit has a plug as illustrated above. The outlet used should look like the outlet illustrated above.
Do not remove the grounding prong from the plug. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
5. WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to 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.)
6. 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.
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.
