C. EXTENSION CORD
1. Use only a 120 A,C. voltage supply as shown
on nameplate of the unit to power your edger.
2. The extension cord used to reach the pow-
er source must be:
a. Specifically marked as suitable for out-
door use. The cord must be marked with the
suffix "TC-A."
b. Heavy enough to carry current from
the power source the full length of the
extension cord to the unit. Otherwise,
loss of power and overheating can occur caus-
ing damage to the unit. Refer to Figure 2 for
minimum wire gauge recommendations.
The cord must be marked with the proper wire
gauge. (Appropriate extension cords are
available.) Do not use multiple cords.
c. In good condition. Cord insulation must
be intact with no cracks or deterioration.
Plug connectors must be undamaged.
3. Secure extension cord to unit as follows:
a. Tie the power plug on the unit to the exten-
sion cord as shown in Figure 3.
b. Insert plug into cord socket. Figure 3.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this Unit has a polar-
ized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug
will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse
the cord. If it still does not fit, make sure you have a po-
larized extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit
into the outlet, reverse the cord. If it still does not fit into
the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug or socket of the
_t0r extension cord in any way.
