EXTENSION CORDS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of elec- tric shock, use only with an extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.

Use proper extension cord with this mower. Use only a polarized (i.e., one blade is wider than the other), UL listed extension cord marked for outdoor use. The cord must be marked with suffix W or W-A following the cord type designation. Example: SJTW-A or SJTW.

Use proper sized cord with this mower. Cord must be heavy enough to carry current needed. An undersized cord will cause voltage drop at mower. The mower will lose power and overheat. Follow cord size requirements listed on page 11.

Keep cord away from cutting area. Make sure cord does not catch on branches during cutting. Inspect cord often. Replace damaged cords.

1.Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords that have three-prong grounding- type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the mower’s plug.

2.Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Cord insulation must be intact with no cracks or deterioration. Plug con- nectors must be undamaged. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your mower will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
