ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
USE THE PROPER 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 cord will cause overheating. The table below shows the correct 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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least
resistance for electric current, and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
a POLARIZED plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching grounded extension cord in
accordance with All local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the properly grounded extension cord,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

a hard surface such as a sidewalk or driveway. If unit fails to advance, unplug power from trimmer
and clean the bump cap both inside and out.

pushed in again (park position).
Using the flower guard
The grass trimmer is equipped with a flower guard that can be lowered to push flowers away from
the cutting line so they are protected (Fig.8). The flower guard is an indicator of the maximum
cutting range of the line.
