ELECTRICAL
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance
from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord
that has the capacity to handle the current the tool will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in overheating and loss
of power. Use the chart
to determine the minimum wire size required in an
extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by
Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a tool, use an
extension cord that is designed for outside use. This
type of cord is designated with “WA” or “W” on the
cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose
or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
Cord Length
Wire Size (A.W.G.)*
25' 16
50' 14
100' 10
*Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working
area. Position the cord so that it will not get
caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions
while you are working with a power tool.
Failure to do so can result in serious personal
injury.
