ATTACHING EXTENSION CORD
• An extension cord retainer
(figure H) is built into the switch
handle that prevents the cord
from coming unplugged. To use
this feature, simply double the
extension cord about 8 inches
(203mm) from the end, and
insert it into the slot (10) in the
end of the handle area. Hook
the loop formed by doubling the
cord over the tab (11). Gently
tug on the cord to insure that it is
firmly retained in the trimmerʼs
handle. Plug the receptacle end of the extension cord into the
plug blades (12) in the trimmer.
