CONNECTING THE POWER CORD
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this unit has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) and will require
the use of a polarized extension cord. This
unit plug will fit into a polarized 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. This plug will
fit into a 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 unit plug, extension cord receptacle, or
extension cord plug in any way.
1. Use the cord hook when you connect the extension
cord to the power cord to prevent disconnection
(Fig. 5). Use only an outdoor-approved extension
cord as specified in the Rules for Safe Operation
section.
2. Secure the extension cord to motor housing as
shown (Fig. 5).

CAUTION: Do not use the unit for demand-
ing work with the switch in the low speed.
