IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not expose the chainsaw to rain.
• Do not use the chainsaw in damp or wet locations.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The plug will only t into a
polarized extension cord one way. If the plug does not t fully into the extension cord, reverse
the plug. If the plug still does not t, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized
extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will only t into the
polarized wall outlet one way. If the plug does not t fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug.
If the plug still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not
change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the product or to disconnect the plug from
an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• 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. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.)
of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 50’ (15 m) or less in length. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating.
W A R N I N G
Use outdoor extension cords marked SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or
SJTOW-A. These cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit (s) or outlet
(s) to be used for the gardening appliance. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI
protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
