ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
DOUBLE INSULATED
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL HAZARDS, FIRE HAZARDS, OR DAMAGE TO THE
TOOL, USE PROPER CIRCUIT PROTECTION. YOUR GRASS TRIMMER IS
WIRED AT THE FACTROY FOR 120 V OPERATION. CONNECT TO A 120 V,
15 A CIRCUIT, AND USE A 15 A TIME-DELAYED FUSE OR CIRCUIT
BIREAKER. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE EXTENSION CORD IS
WORN, CUT OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY.
This grass trimmer has a plug that looks like the one shown in Fig. A
The grass trimmer is double insulated to provide a double thickness of insulation between you and
the tool’s electrical system. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor
components with protective insulation.
USE ONLY IDENTIFICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS WHEN SERVICING THE
GRASS TRIMMER, TO AVOID INJURY.
DOUBLE INSULATION DOES NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF NORMAL SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING THIS GRASS TRIMMER

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
USE THE PROPER 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 cord will cause overheating. The table below 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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least
resistance for electric current, and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with a
POLARIZED plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching grounded extension cord in
accordance with All local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the properly grounded extension cord,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
