Electrical Safety Warnings

1. This tool is double–insulated. Use only identical
replacement parts when servicing.
2. WARNING—To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, use only extension cords approved for
outdoor use, such as an extension cord of cord
type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJOW-A, SJTW-A or SJTOW-A. A 2–wire
extension cord (an extension cord without a
ground) may be used because the tool is
double–insulated. However, a 3–wire extension
cord (an extension cord with a ground) that uses
a NEMA type connector (parallel blade, U
ground) may also be used. Extension cords are
available from your local retailer. Use only
round–jacketed extension cords approved for
outdoor use.
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way.
4. EXTENSION CORD–Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use a cord that is
heavy enough to carry the current that your unit
will draw. An undersized extension cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The table shows 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 reduce
the possibility of disconnection of the unit cord
from the extension cord during operation, see
Fig. 6.

5. Maintain Appliance With Care–Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect appliance cord periodically,
and if damaged, have it repaired by an
Authorized Toro Service Dealer. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged. Look closely for deterioration, cuts or
cracks in the insulation. Also inspect the
connectors for damage. Keep handles dry, clean,
and free from oil and grease.
