ATTACHING EXTENSION CORD TO TRIMMER
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
trimmer's housing.
Plug the receptacle end of the extension cord into the plug blades in
the trimmer.
