extension cords that have three-prong grounding
plugs and grounding receptacles that accept the
appliance's plug.
• When using the appliance, an extension cord of ade-
quate size must be used for safety and to prevent loss
of power and overheating.
• The extension cord must be specifically intended for
outdoor use and marked "SJ" or "SJT" and with the
suffix "WA". In Canada, the extension cord must be
marked "SFTW".
• Inspect extension power cord for loose or exposed
wires and damaged insulation. If damaged, replace
before using appliance.
DO NOT ABUSE CORD - Never carry appliance by
cord or pull cord to disconnect from outlet. Keep cord
clear of operator and obstacles at all times. Do not
expose cord to heated surfaces, oil or water. Do not
pull cord around sharp edges, corners or close door
on cord.
6. Avoid dangerous environment. Do not use appli-
ance in damp or wet locations.
7. Don't use in rain. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
8. Do not abuse cord. Never yank it to disconnect from

edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
