8. Warning - To reduce the risk of 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.
9. Extension Cord - Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to 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. Table 1 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.
To reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from the extension cord
during operating: i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or connectors described in this
manual.
10. Avoid Unintentional Starting - Do not carry plugged-in dethatcher with finger on
switch. Be sure switch is o when plugging in.
11. Do not Abuse Cord - Never carry dethatcher by cord or yank it to disconnect
from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
12. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or
holding the dethatcher.
13. It should work in constant speed - It will do the job properly and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
14. Do not Overreach - Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
15. Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate
dethatcher when you are tired.
16. Disconnect Dethatcher - Disconnect the dethatcher from the power supply
when not in use, before servicing, when changing accessories such as blades,
and the like.
17. Store Idle Dethatcher Indoors - When not in use, dethatcher should be stored
indoors in dry, and high or locked-up place - out of reach of children.
18. Maintain Dethatcher With Care - Keep cutting edge sharp and clean for best
performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect appliance cord periodically, and if damaged,
have it repaired by an authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease.
19. Check Damaged Parts - Before further use of the dethatcher, a guard or
other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other condition that may aect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
