Safety instructions for extension cords

• 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 extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The AWG size table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Amp rating Total length of extension cord in feet (meters)

| 25′| 50′| 100′| 150′
---|---|---|---|---
(7.6 m)| (15 m)| (30.4 m)| (45.7 m)
0| 6| 18| 16| 16| 14
6| 10| 18| 16| 14| 12
10| 12| 16| 16| 14| 12
12| 16| 14| 12| Not recommended

• To reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from the extension cord during operating
• Make a knot as shown in Fig. 1; or
• Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or connectors  described in this manual.
• When working outdoors with the appliance, use an extension cord that is designed for outdoor use. This type of cord is designated with “W-N’ or “W” on the jacket of the cord.
• Check extension cords before each use. If damaged, replace immediately. Inspect the appliance cord periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized service facility. Never use the appliance with a damaged extension cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
• Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and not modified.
• Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the extension cord that it will not come close to the blade while the user is working with the appliance. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.
• The extension cord must have a polarized plug.
• If a series of extension cords will be connected, make sure all are for the same ampere rating, capable to handle 12 A or more.
• The appliance requires a lot of power and should not be operated simultaneously with other tools or utilities on the same household circuit.

Residual risks
Even if you are operating this appliance in accordance with all the safety requirements, potential risks of injury and damage remain. The following dangers can arise in connection with the structure and design of this appliance

• Risk of injury and property damage caused by broken attachments or the sudden impact of hidden objects.
• Risk of cuts from the appliance’s blade.
• Risk of getting entangled by the appliance’s motor.
• Risk of inhaling small dust and particles into the lungs.

Polarized appliance connections
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The appliance 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 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.
