ELECTRICAL SAFETY WARNINGS
• Since the tool is double-insulated, a 2-wire extension
cord (an extension cord without a ground) may be
used. A 3-wire extension cord (an extension cord with
a ground) that uses a NEMA type connector (parallel
blade, U ground) is recommended. Extension cords
are available from your local retailer. Use only round-
jacketed extension cords approved for outdoor use.
• This tool is double-insulated. Repair or replace damaged cords.
WARNING:
only SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJOW-A, SJTW-W or SJTOW-A cord types.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this unit has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
unit will fit with a polarized plug in one way only. If the
plug does not fit fully into the unit, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, use a cord with the correct
connection. Do not modify the unit in any way.
MINIMUM WIRE SIZE FOR EXTENSION CORDS FOR
120 VOLT APPLIANCES USING 12-16 AMPS
Cord length (ft.) 25
Wire size (AWG) 14
*Not recommended
• CORD SETS: Make sure your cord set is in good
condition, with 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 a loss
of power, as well as overheating. The table shown
above illustrates the correct size to use depending on
the cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier size line gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. To
prevent the cord from disconnecting from the unit, use
the cord hook shown in the Operating Instructions.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection
should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) that will
be used for the unit. Use receptacles with built-in
GFCI protection for an extra measure of safety.
To reduce the risk of
