To reduce the risk of electric shock, use the power tool
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.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current that your power tool will draw.
An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The
table below shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

VIBRATION EXPOSURE
Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of power
tools could cause blood vessel or nerve damage in the
fingers, hands, and joints of people prone to circulation
disorders or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold
weather has been linked to blood vessel damage in
otherwise healthy people. If symptoms occur such as
numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in skin color or
texture, or loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints,
discontinue the use of this power tool and seek medical
attention. An anti-vibration system does not guarantee
the avoidance of these problems. Users who operate
power tools on a continual and regular basis must closely
monitor their physical condition and the condition of the
power tool.
