Back to Questions

Does the extension cord come with the trimmer or blower?
An extension cord is not included with the 120VAC yard tool products. Outdoor-rated extension cords of various lengths and sizes are available through your local hardware or home center retailer. Refer to the product operator's manual for appropriate extension cord length and size recommendations.

Back to Questions

What type of extension cord should I use for my trimmer or blower?
Extension cord: Ensure that your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table lists the correct cord size depending on the length of the cord. If you are in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the gauge.

Extension Cord Length: 100 Ft
Minimum Wire Gauge (A.W.G.) at 100 Ft: 16

Extension Cord Length: 100-150 Ft
Minimum Wire Gauge (A.W.G.) at 100-150 Ft: 14

Note: Do not use an extension cord over 150 feet.

To reduce the risk of disconnection of the extension cord during use, connect the extension cord to the trimmer as illustrated in the Operation section of your Owner's Manual or our Interactive Product Manuals.
