undersized cord set will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. See the operator’s manual for the
unit that will power this add-on for the recommended cord size.
• Inspect all extension cords and the unit power connection
periodically. Look closely for deterioration, cuts or cracks in the
insulation. Also inspect the connections for damage. Replace the
cords if any defects or damage appear.
• Prevent disconnection of the hedge trimmer powerhead from
extension cord during operation by using a plug-receptacle
retaining strap, connector, or by making a knot as shown below:
• Avoid dangerous environments. Never operate your unit in damp
or wet conditions. Moisture is a shock hazard.
