What's the outdoor rating on this? The mower manual says to find a cord marked W-A, W, SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A. Thanks!

S means hard service up to 600 vac. SJ means Junior Service up to 300VAC. O means Oil Resistant. T means Thermoplastic. W means Wet or damp locations. A 14 gauge cord is good up to 100' for 13 amps continuous. A Hard Service cord is almost twice the diameter of a type S because the outer insulation is thicker, but it is very expensive and harder to drag around. There is no such rating as "A" , must be a China thing.

You're way over thinking this just find an outdoor rated cord. If you want longer than 50ft get a 12 gauge cord and less than 50 ft get a 14 gauge cord. If your really concerned this cord is marked SJTW in the description and that means its a hard service weather resistant cord. If your getting a cord for a lawn mower I would recomend that brightest color jacket you can find... helps in avoiding running it over

I ordered it from amazon and it was no good. Either buy string in bulk and take to a lawn mower repair shop and have them wind it for you. Or go to menards and buy. Them

I love my 12 amp mower and put it to the test always! I have over an acre of lawn. There are times when the grass is wet and it loses power, but the same was true of my gas mower.

The product description says it's an SJTW extension cord. According to http://www.uswireandcable.com/glossary.html, SJTW is defined as: Hard service cord. Thermoplastic constructed jacket. 300 volt, weather resistant for outdoor use. That being said, I'd still be awfully careful about mixing electricity and water!

Thanks, Nancy. That's good to know. I'm staying away from Worx and will just use mine until it dies and maybe repair it. No battery in mine. Mine is an older Worx corded mower that cuts as short as 1" which is next to the last choice, or the last choice which is 3/4 inch. I have the best looking lawn on the street whenever I can get around to cutting it. I hate to have to go European because I'll have to step the 240v down to 120v but Bosch cuts as low as 20mm.

Good questions! I chose to NOT get the extended warrantee and to be honest I did not read the manufacture's warrentee. We have a tiny yard so it does not get much work. Sorry, guess I can't answer your questions. I love the mower and have had no trouble with it!

I used a 100 ft heavy cord..............but frankly the mower sucks. It's very light weight, doesn't cut well and unless you have very flat ground and grass that isn't thick you're wasting your money. I sent mine back within two days of trying it.

The wire jacket has the code SJT stamped on it. S=stranded wire, J=300v jacket rating & T=Thermal plastic insulation. It does not have W so they are not rated for outdoor use. You need a wire with the letter W in it. Examples are SJW, SJTW, SJOOW. With all that being said, if the plugs were in a protected location out of the rain & sun I believe they would hold up well.

The mower itself is not that heavy and it comes literally put together, just pull up the handle and turn a couple of knobs, and put the string through the little loop, throw gas in it and your ready to go. As far as the drain plug goes, I couldnt tell you, even looking at it. I'm a woman lol, and I dont know where to look for those things .. sorry! It is a good mower for a small yard. Our yard is relatively big, and our budget limited me to a mower that was not self propelled. Overall its a very good mower, sharp, easy to handle.

There is no cord. Its the plug part hanging from the mover. You have to buy your own cord to use. The cord attached to the mower is less than 6 inches. It hangs from the mover. Its shown in the picture. (Orange). I use a 100 foot cord I purchased separately. It is more than enough for my yard.

Awg is american wire gauge. Find a good 100ft OUTDOOR extension cord and you should be ok

Will have to get back to you. I replaced the mower I bought the bag for. Gave it to my son with the paperwork. I will check with him and let you know.

Plugs, couple of passes leaves nice dirt plugs on top of the grass. Only caution I have is that I was shorted a part from my Amazon order, and the manufacturer would not respond to my email. I would buy this from a local hardware store.

The cord on the mower is roughly about a foot long. It is only for connecting to a power cord. I use one of those 75 ft orange power cords.

I really don't think you would notice any difference in mowing whether the cord has 2 wires or 3 wires; I began using this mower 4 years ago, and noticed a major difference between a gas mower and the weight of this mower. But the cord is nothing. The cord mostly just resides and slides on the ground, as you mow away from the outlet. And it is not a big deal to figure 8 it up at the end of mowing.
