Double insulated lawn mower
This mower is “DOUBLE INSULATED”
1. Replacement Parts: When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
2. Polarized Appliance Connections: 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.
Extension Cord
1. Warning - To prevent electric shock use only with an extension cord suitable for outdoor use,
such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
2. Make sure your extension cord set is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. For lengths less than 50 feet,
No. ~ AWG extension cord should be used. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. (NOTE: Table 49.1 shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage.
The smaller the gage number the heavier the cord.) To reduce the likelihood of disconnection of
lawn mower cord from the cord set during operating:
MINIMUM GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORD
Don’t Abuse Cord - Never pull lawn mower by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord
from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
