DOUBLE-INSULATED: GROUNDING NOT
REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

Electrical Safety
1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
this electric scarifier + dethatcher. Receptacles are available
having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
2. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to use
one heavy enough 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.

3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other). Use
this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA-, or ETL-listed
extension cord recommended for outdoor, all-weather use,
such as the Snow Joe
®
+ Sun Joe
®
SJTW-A 14-gauge 50-

The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord
only one way. If the appliance plug does not fit fully into the
extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized
extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet.
The extension cord plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not
modify the appliance plug, extension cord receptacle, or
extension cord plug in any way.
4. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the
extension cord during operation, use the onboard extension
cord restraint hook and/or make a knot with the two cords
as shown in Table 1.
5. Do not abuse the cord. Never pull the scarifier + dethatcher
by the cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from the
receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
