GENERAL SAFETY RULES
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less
in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
■ WARNING: Use outdoor extension cords marked
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or
SJTOWA. These cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
■ Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection
should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be
used for the lawn mower. Receptacles are available
having builtin GFCI protection and may be used for
this measure of safety.
■ Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
or grease.
