sure your extension cord is in good condi-

tion. Conductor size should be in accor-

dance with the chart below. The amperage

rating should be listed on the motor or tool

nameplate. An undersized cord will cause

a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of

power and overheating. Your extension

cord must also contain a ground wire and

plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-

sion cords if they become damaged.
