SAFETY:
Use only extensions cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension
cords are identified by a marking "Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances;
store indoors while not in use." Use only extension cords having an electrical
rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged extension
cords. Examine extension cords before using and replace if damaged. Do not
abuse extension cords and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cords
away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect extension cords from the
receptacle before disconnecting the product form the extension cord.
Use of undersize extension cords results in low voltage to the motor that can
result in motor burnout and premature failure. MK Diamond warns that
equipment returned to us showing signs of being run in a low voltage condition,
with undersized extension cord, will be repaired or replaced totally at the
customers expense. There will be no warranty claim.
To choose the proper extension cord,
