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. Do not change the trimmer plug,
extension cord receptacle, or extension
cord plug in any way.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) of outlet(s) to be used for the
gardening appliance. Receptacles are
available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for this measure of
safety.
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 table below
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.
