GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
MINIMUM GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS (AWG)
(WHEN USING 120 V ONLY)
THIS GARDEN SHREDDER IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR
USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one of heavy enough gauge 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.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Keep your extension cords
away from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.Use a separate electrical circuit for
your tools. This circuit must not be less than 12-gauge cord and should be protected with a 15-amp
time delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the
OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
