An extension cord retainer is built into the switch handle that
prevents the tool from coming unplugged.
To use this feature, double the
extension cord about 8 inches
(203 mm) from the end, and insert
it into the slot in the back of the
handle area. Hook the loop formed
by doubling the cord, over the cord
retainer tab, as shown in figure D.
Gently tug on the cord to insure that
it is firmly retained in the trimmerʼs
housing.
Plug the receptacle end of the
extension cord into the plug blades in the trimmer.
