Extension Cords
1. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 1 shows the Correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate Ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heaver gage. The smaller the gage
number is, the heavier the cord is.
2. Outdoors Use Extension Cords. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords
intended for use outdoors and so marke d.
3.Use only UL listed extension cords. Inspect extension cord before use and never use
damaged or altered extension cords. Follow extension cord manufacturer safety
