intended 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.
• Extension Cord — Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one 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. Table 1 shows
the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord. To reduce the risk of
disconnection of appliance cord from the
extension cord during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1.
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle
retaining straps or connectors
described in this manual.
• Avoid Unintentional Starting — Don't
carry plugged-in appliance with finger
on switch. Be sure switch is off when
plugging in.
• Don't Abuse Cord — Never carry
appliance by cord or yank it to
disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord
from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• Don't Force Appliance — It will do the
job better and with less likelihood of a
risk of injury at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Don't Overreach — Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow
!
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
• Stay Alert — Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense. Do not operate
appliance when you are tired.
• Disconnect Appliance — Disconnect
the appliance from the power supply
when not in use, before servicing, when
changing accessories such as blades,
and the like.
• Store Idle Appliances Indoors — When
not in use, appliances should be stored
indoors in dry, and in a high or locked-up
place — out of reach of children.
• Maintain Appliance With Care — Keep
cutting edge sharp and clean for
best performance and to reduce the
risk of injury. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
Inspect appliance cord periodically,
and if damaged, have it repaired by
an authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace
if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean,
and free from oil and grease.
• Check Damaged Parts — Before further
use of the appliance, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, mounting, and any other
condition that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service centre unless
indicated elsewhere in this manual.
