SAFETY

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use only round- jacketed extension cords approved for outdoor use, such as cords of type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-W, or SJTOW-A. Since this tool is double insulated, you may use a 2-wire extension cord (an extension cord without a ground). However, you may also use a 3-wire extension cord (an extension cord with a ground) that has a NEMA- type connector (parallel blade, U ground). Extension cords are available from your local retailer.

Be sure to use a cord that is heavy enough to carry the current that your product will draw. The correct cord size depends on cord length and amperage rating (see figures below). An undersized cord set will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure:

a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those on the plug on the charger.

b. That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and

c. That the wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of the product as specified below:

Cord Length (Feet)

Note: AWG = American Wire Gage

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and requires the use of a polarized extension cord. This product’s plug fits into a polarized extension cord in only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. Use of a polarized extension cord requires use of a polarized wall outlet. This product’s plug fits into a polarized wall outlet in only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the product plug, the extension cord receptacle, or the extension cord plug in any way.
