9. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
the trimmer/edger has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the
other) and will require the use of a
polarized extension cord. e trim-
mer/edger’s plug will fit into a polar-
ized extension cord only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the
extension cord, reverse the plug. If the
plug still does not fit, obtain a correct
polarized extension cord. A polarized
extension cord will require the use of
a polarized wall outlet. is plug will
fit into the polarized wall outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the wall outlet, reverse the plug.
If the plug still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the
proper wall outlet. Do not change the
trimmer/edger plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in
any way.
8. 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 trimmer/edger will draw. An
undersized extension cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating.
e table below shows the correct
size extension cord to use depend
-
ing on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next larger gauge cord. e smaller
the gauge number, the larger the cord.
To reduce the risk of disconnection
of trimmer/edger from the extension
cord during operation, use the cord
hitch described in this manual.
