Use proper extension cord with this mower. Use
only a polarized (i.e., one blade is wider than
the other), UL listed extension cord marked for
outdoor use. The cord must be marked with suffi x
W or W-A following the cord type designation.
Example: SJTW-A or SJTW.
Use proper sized cord with this mower. Cord
must be heavy enough to carry current needed.
An undersized cord will cause voltage drop
at mower. The mower will lose power and
overheat. Follow cord size requirements listed
on page 11.
Keep cord away from cutting area. Make sure
cord does not catch on branches during cutting.
Inspect cord often. Replace damaged cords.
1. Use only three-wire outdoor extension
cords that have three-prong grounding-
type plugs and three-pole receptacles that
accept the mower’s plug
.
2. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. Cord insulation must be intact
with no cracks or deterioration. Plug con-
nectors must be undamaged. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your mower
will draw. An undersized extension cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating.
