WARNING: Read and under-
stand this owner's manual before
operating trimmer/edger. Make
certain you read and understand
all Safety Warnings on pages 1 and
2 of this manual. Improper use of
this trimmer/edger can result in

Extension Cords

Use proper extension cord with this tool.
Use only a polarized (i.e., one blade is
wider than the other), UL listed exten-
sion cord marked for outdoor use. The
cord must be marked with suffix W or
W-A following the cord type designation.
Example: SJTW-A or SJTW.
Use proper sized cord with this tool. Cord
must be heavy enough to carry current
needed. An undersized cord will cause volt-
age drop at trimmer/edger. The trimmer/
edger will lose power and overheat. Follow
cord size requirements listed below.

Connecting Extension Cord
WARNING: Fully seat the ex-
tension cord on the inlet plug or
power cord of tool. Failure to do
so could lead to overheating of
trimmer/edger. This could cause a
fire that results in personal injury
to you or others.
The trimmer/edger has a built-in extension
cord retainer. This cord hitch prevents ac-
cidental disconnection of the power cord
during use. The cord hitch is molded into
the rear handle.
