WARNING
GENERAL SAFETY RULES:
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet
is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or
pull 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.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension
cord marked “W-A” or “W.” These cords are rated for outdoor use
and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Note: When using an extension cord, be 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. John Deere recommends
using a minimum 12 gauge extension cord not to exceed
100 feet. The table below is supplied only as a guide to
minimum gauge for extension cords, where the smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
