To use this feature, simply double the 11 extension cord about 8 inches (203mm) from the end, and insert it into the slot (10) in the end of the handle area. Hook the loop formed by doubling the cord over the tab (11). Gently 12 tug on the cord to insure that it is firmly retained in the trimmerʼs handle. Plug the receptacle end of the extension cord into the plug blades (12) in the trimmer.
