SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ELECTRIC POWER
HEADS AND STRAIGHT SHAFT TRIMMER
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, use only extension cords approved for
outdoor use, such as an extension cord of
cord type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A,
SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-W or SJTOW-A.
Extension cords are available from your local
retailer. Use only round-jacketed extension
cords approved for outdoor use.
• CORD SETS: Make sure your cord set is in good
condition. When using a cord set, be sure to use a
cord that is heavy enough to carry the current that
your unit will draw. An undersized cord set will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. See the operator's manual for the unit
that will power this add-on for the recommended cord
size.
• Inspect all extension cords and the unit power
connection periodically. Look closely for deterioration,
cuts or cracks in the insulation. Also inspect the
connections for damage. Replace the cords if any
defects or damage appear.
• Prevent disconnection of the straight shaft trimmer
powerhead from extension cord during operation by
using a plug-receptacle retaining strap, connector, or
by making a knot as shown below:
