insulation. Use only identical replacement
parts. See instructions for Servicing of
Double-Insulated Appliances.
18) WARNING – To reduce the risk of
electric shock – Do not use on wet
surfaces. Do not expose to rain. Store
indoors.
19) To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit
in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
20) Extension Cord - Make sure your extension
cord set is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. For lengths less than 25
feet, No. __16_AWG extension cord should
be used. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. (NOTE: Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number the
heavier the cord.) To reduce the likelihood
of disconnection of lawn mower cord from
the cord set during operating:
I) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1, or
II) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining
straps or connectors described in this
manual.
