Do I need a two or three pronged extension cord?

The mower's connection is 2 prong FEMALE, so any 2 or 3 prong connection will work. What's more important is the gauge of the extension cord. I have a 14 gauge 100ft extension cord. For a 50, 75 and 100ft cord, 14 gauge is recommended. For 150ft, you'll need a 12 gauge cord. http://www.homedepot.com/c/factors_to_consider_when_choosing_extension_cords_HT_BG_EL

two prong is required, but you can use a 3-prong. Be sure to use a 12-gauge cable if over 100 feet. 14 gauge is OK under 100 feet. It is hard to find a 12 gauge cable with only 2 prongs.

3 core/prong extension cords are about all that are available these days in the gauge required.

The lamp has 2 prongs. It's totally OK to plug it into a 3 prong strip. If an electrical appliance is all plastic on the outside, you don't get a third prong. You don't need it. You get everything you need with just 2-prongs, even if you plug into a 3-prong strip. Not to worry.The folks that let you tie into great big power sources do try to keep you out of trouble. If you can plug something in, without cheating, it's ok, go for it.

With 6 plugins on the side socket, why would you use an extension cord? But yes you can because I have anextension plugged into one of the sockets.

This unit has a two-pronged plug, normal type. It doesn't have the 3-pronged with ground.

I would say no but only because most extension cords are usually too thick. If it's an extension cord that's old and only has two wires you could possibly get away with it

It has one cord and it is 2 pronged. If I can be of any further help, please let me know. :-)

There is a short power cord that must be connected to an extension cord, or the other option is to have an electrician wire it to a power source.

I believe two! But double check, and you need to know the shape of the prongs.

Yes, it requires a standard three-prong outlet. As an aside, make sure not to use an extension cord. And make sure your wiring can support the required voltage. I'm renting an older home, and the lights flicker for a second when the compressor kicks on and off. To be fair, the wiring here is REALLY old and needs to be redone--the lights also flicker when I merely power on my hair dryer. But since I'm renting, I can't fix that myself.

3-pronged, it is. Be careful if you're using an adapter, though since not all of them are compatible.

A two prong will work just fine,just keep you and your weed eater blower away from rain wet surfaces. Enjoy!.

No. Two prong. For this type of appliance a three-prong plug is not required. It is polarized - one prong is bigger than the other.

Technically you CAN if it is a 3 prong ... HOWEVER, you really shouldn't. Extension cords (according to most fire codes) are only supposed to go into an outlet. "Piggy-backing" extension cords is a fire hazard. That's one of the reasons I bought this one ... it has a SUPER long cord.

I'm not an expert on this but I would say no, as it just has a regular 3 pronged plug on the end, one that fits most of my home outlets.

Yes, it does accept a three prong grounded extension cord. If you have repaired your extension cord with a commercial three pronged plug I would be afraid it would be to big. My son was out blowing leaves this weekend with an orange 100' residential extension cord and it worked just fine.

We think you need 2 Prong to 3 Prong Grounding Adapter, Amazon ASIN # B003XDF2H2 "Grounding Adaptor - 2 Pack"
