The operators manual sets tough limits for extension cords, 25 ' 14AWG and 50' 12AWG. How do reach all your plants?

My plant work is near the 50' recommended limit for 12AWG. But frankly, I wouldn't be concerned about extending it (which I have). This is not a continuous running tool.

My husband connects two 50 foot heavy duty extension cords together. He has had no problems with the cords or reaching his plants. On occasion we add a 3rd smaller cord to reach the end piece which we trim occasionally.

I use 2-50' cords together without any problems. No apparent loss of power. This is a terrific trimmer, but VERY aggressive.

The extension cord should be rated for outdoors SJTW and 14 gauge or higher. For lengths of 100 ft I would use 12 gauge. The extension cord will plug into a standard 15 amp, 110 volt recepticle.

All you should need is an extension cord. I used a 50 ft one. I made a review of the product with a video demo here, http://home.squidoo.com/greenworks-hedge-trimmer-review. I'm very happy with the purchase through Amazon. Great price for a good reliable product.

I use a100 foot orange cord. If you need to go further than that, get 25 foot heavy duty cord to attach.

I use this 50 amp extension cord with the manufacturer's 25 ft cord when I need an extra long 55ft cord. This is an extension only and will not connect directly to the trailer.

They are 60 feet. 50 and 100 foot cords may be purchased separately (and the extension cables include a special connector that you'll need to connect the cables together as well). They are reasonably priced. Q-See suggests limiting the number of connections to make a single cable run to no more than 1. That is, connect no more than 2 cables together to get yourself where you want to go. That being said, it is suggested to use the shortest cable runs possible to get you where you want to go.

The cord itself is 5.5 feet. It's a 2-prong plug, so a surge-protector type cord or a cord with the holes on top should do it if you need it to reach further.

Since I needed a 100' in length, it had to be at least 14 gauge. If the cord is too small, the motor will burn up. You cannot just use any old extension cord. I bought this cord from amazon. US Wire 65100 12/3 100-Foot SJTW Orange Heavy Duty Extension Cord

I only need about 50 feet, and that works very well. I know the hose will stretch farther, but I don't know how much farther.

I think about 6 feet, but you can buy an extension. If this is not sufficient, let me know

I haven't had a problem with a 50' extension cord with 14 ga. wire. If you want to go 100', you should probably use 12 ga.

The manual states you should only use an extension cord rated for outdoor use ... but does not mention gauge. The Home Depot website offers a buyers guide for extension cords. Basically you want to ensure the most power getting to the blower and not being consumed by the cord so there are two factors, wire gauge and length. The bigger the wire and the shorter the cord the lower the resistance so for 12 Amps using a 100 ft cord you should use at least a 14 gauge cord or larger. If you are interested in the larger 18 Amp blower you would need a 10 gauge. It's best to reference an extension cord buyers guide to determine what size cord will best meet your needs for the length of cord you will need.

Yes - I used a 100 ft cord - be very careful to keep the cord away from the "tillers"

Don't Know. I did not keep this product since it was misrepresented over the phone by the Company. I needed something to clean a very long driveway. I called to ask if i could use a heavy duty extension and extra hose. They said YES, However, when the product arrived the warranty book in Large letters stated never use with an extension cord or hose more then 50 feet. It was returned unused..

Stated on site. I believe that standard cord is 5 ft. You can get extended cord, about 25'.
