more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Assembling the Handle Tubes (Fig. C, D)
1. Remove knobs 2 and curved head bolts 13 from
handle tube mounting holes.
2. Remove tape which secures internal jacketed cable
to tubes.
3. Slide middle tube 4 into upper tube 3 and fasten
handle tubes together with the knob and curved head
bolt. Note that when you first insert the bolt it may
be necessary to wiggle it carefully to get it past the
jacketed cable inside the tube. There are two positions
available for adjustment to your preferred height
setting. See Figure G for upper handle orientation.
Ensure the cable moves smoothly into the handle tubes
while assembling.
4. Push jacketed cable down into lower tube to remove
the slack. Slide the middle tube into the lower by
locating the groove and the bump. Fasten handle tubes
together with the remaining knob and curved head
bolt. Note that when you first insert the bolt it may
be necessary to wiggle it carefully to get it past the
jacketed wire inside the tube.
CAUTION:
NEVER use a sharp object to
move jacketed wires out of the way.
Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate
marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss
of power and overheating. These tools are factory tested; if
this tool does not operate, check power supply.
