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 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.

Service

A.

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

B.

If the cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its authorized service agent or a
similarly qualified in order to avoid hazard.

6.

Double-insulated Appliance

In a double-insulated appliance, 2 systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means
is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a
means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing
a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care
and knowledge of the system, and should be done only
by the qualified service personnel at your Authorized
Service Dealer. Replacement parts for a double-insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts that they replace.
A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words
“Double Insulation” or “Double Insulated.” The symbol (

)

shall also be marked on the appliance.

Extension Cord

WARNING

Using an incorrect extension cord may result in
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

Ensure that your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, 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. The following table lists the correct
cord size depending on the length of the cord. If you are in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.

Note:

Do not use an extension cord over 45.7 m (150

To reduce the risk of disconnection of the extension cord
during use, connect the extension cord to the trimmer as
illustrated in
