and may be used for this
measure of safety.
2. Do not Abuse Cord - Do not
carry appliance by cord or yank
it to disconnect from receptacle.
Keep cord from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
3. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other) and will
require the use of a polarized
extension cord. The appliance
plug will fit into a polarized
extension cord 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. A polarized extension
cord will require the use of a
polarized wall outlet. This plug
will fit into the polarized wall
outlet 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 equipment plug,
extension cord receptacle, or
extension cord plug in any way.
This design is referred to as
double-insulated, indicated by
EN - 8
.
4. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for
outdoor use, such as an
extension cord of cord type
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A. or SJTOW-A. 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 extension cord
will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
a) Extension Cord Size: The
following table shows the correct
cord 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.
