SAFETY WARNINGS
FOR ELECTRIC POWERHEADS
AND
HEDGE TRIMMERS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
use only extension cords approved for outdoor use,
such as an extension cord of cord type SW-A, SOW-A,
STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-W or
SJTOW-A. Extension cords are available from your Ioca
retailer. Use only round-jacketed
extension cords
approved for outdoor use.
• CORD SETS: Make sure your cord set is in good condition. When
using a cord set, be sure to use a cord that is heavy enough to
carry the current that your unit will draw. An undersized cord set
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. See the operator's manual for the unit that will power
this attachment for the recommended
cord size.
Inspect all extension cords and the unit power connection
periodically.
Look closely for deterioration,
cuts or cracks in the
insulation. Also inspect the connections
for damage. Replace the
cords if any defects or damage appear.
Prevent disconnection
of the hedge trimmer powerhead from
extension cord during operation by using a plug-receptacle
retaining strap, connector, or by making a knot as shown below:
