EXTENSION CORD RETAINER
An extension cord retainer is located on the bottom
of the trimmer. This provides strain relief for the
cord, preventing unwanted disconnects.
Note: To reduce the disconnection of the power
cord from the extension cord during operation, use
the extension cord retainer described below.
METHOD OF SECURING EXTENSION CORD
Use the extension cord retainer when you connect
the extension cord to the power cord to prevent
disconnection. Use only an outdoor approved
extension cord as indicated by the letters “W-A” on
the cord’s jacket.
Loop the extension cord through the extension
cord retainer slot located on the bottom end of
the trimmer. See Figure 5.
Pull loop of extension cord around tongue and
pull tight. See Figure 6.
Attach extension cord to plug on trimmer. See
Figure 6.
