a WARNING: Do not touch the terminals of the plug
when installing or removing the plug from the
extension cord.
Double insulated chargers are equipped with a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require
the use of a polarized extension cord.
The charger plug will fi t into a polarized extension
cord only one way. If the plug does not fi t fully into the
extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fi t, obtain a correct polarized extension cord.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current that your power tool 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 gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

• Use a correct length of the grass trimmer line. A long
grass trimmer line uses more motor power than a short
grass trimmer line.
• Make sure that the cutter on the cutting attachment
guard is not damaged.
• Soak the grass trimmer line in water for 2 days before
you attach the grass trimmer line to the product. This
increases the life of the grass trimmer line.
