Extension cord
WARNING:
This tool is intended for outdoor, residential use only. Do not use it indoor or for
commercial or industrial purposes.
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 cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows
the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

The snow shovel has a polarized male plug, with one prong in the switch housing socket
slightly longer and wider than the other. The extension cord female end should be likewise
polarized, so that the extension cord fits snugly into the switch housing socket.
