EXTENSION CORD
Use only a 120 A.C. voltage supply as
shown on nameplate of the unit to
power your edger.
The extension cord used to reach the
power source must be:
• Specifically marked as suitable for
outdoor use. The cord must be
marked with the suffix "W-A."
• Heavy enough to carry current from
the power source the full length of the
extension cord to the unit. Otherwise,
loss of power and overheating can oc-
cur causing damage to unit. Refer to
chart for minimum wire gauge recom-
mendations. The cord must be
marked with the proper wire gauge.
(Appropriate extension cords are avail-
able.) Do not use multiple cords.
• In good condition. Cord insulation
must be intact with no cracks or
deterioration. Plug connectors must
be undamaged.

DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION
This unit is Double Insulated to help
protect against electric shock. Double
insulation construction consists of two
separate "layers" of electrical insula-
tion instead of grounding.
Tools and appliances built with a
double insulation system are not in-
tended to be grounded. No grounding
means is provided on this unit, nor
should a means of grounding be add-
ed to this unit. As a result, the exten-
sion cord used with your unit can be
plugged into any standard 120 volt
electrical outlet.
Safety precautions must be observed
when operating any electrical tool. The
double insulation system only provides
added protection against injury result-
ing from an internal electrical insulation
failure.
