WARNING: Use outdoor extension cords marked
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or
SJTOWA. These cords are rated for outdoor use and

POLARIZED PLUGS-To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this product has a polarized plug. Polarized
connections will fit together only one way.Make sure
that the receptacle end of the extension cord has large
and small blade slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully
into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, obtain a suitable extension cord. If the extension
cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change
the plug on the tool or the extension cord in any way.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord be sure it is heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The following table
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.

It is possible to tie two extension cords together in
a knot to prevent them from
becoming disconnected during
use. Make the knot as shown, then
connect the plug end of the power
cord into the receptacle end of the
extension cord. This method can
also be used to tie two extension cords together.
Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or
connectors described in this manual.
WARNING: Keep all connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.
Be aware of the extension cord while operating the
snow thrower. Be careful not to trip on the cord.
Always keep the cord away from the auger.
