10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD
for the tool. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. Conductor
size should be in accordance 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 con-
tain a ground wire and plug pin.
Always repair or replace extension
cords if they become damaged.
