When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your Pole Trimmer 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
extension cord to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next larger gage cord.
The smaller the gage number, the larger
the cord. To reduce the risk of discon-
nection of Pole Trimmer from the exten-
sion cord during operation, use the cord
hitch described in this manual.
