C. Electric Landscaping Tools
Read the operator's manual carefully before switching on the tool. If a tool is equipped with a three-hole grounded receptacle, a three-wire extension cord should be used.
Never use electrical power tools in the rain or when grass or shrubs are wet. Do not abuse the flexible electric cord. The cord should be draped over the shoulder while the tool is in operation. Never carry a tool by the receptacle. Always us a cord heavy enough to carry proper current. Be sure to avoid cutting the cord with the tool or equipment.
