Extension
Cords
Double insulated tools have
2-wire cords and can be used
with
2-wire or
3-wire
extensions. Only
round
jacketed
extension cords
should be used, and we recom-
mended that they
be
listed by
Under-
writer's Laboratories
(U.L.) (C.S.A.
in
Canada).
lf
the extension
will be used
outside, the cord must be suitable
for
outdoor work.
The letters
"WA"
on
the cord
jacket
indicate
that
the cord
is
suitable for outdoor use.
An
extension must
have
adequate
wire size
(AWG
or
American Wire
Gauge)
for
safety, and to
prevent
loss
of
power
and overheating. The
smaller the
qauoe
number ol lhe

wire, the
greater
the capacity
of the
cable, that
is 16
gauge
has
more
capacity than
1I
gauge.
When using
more than one extension
to
make
up
the total
length,
be
sure each
exten-
sion contains at
least the
minimum
wire size.
To determine the
minimum
wire
size
reouired. refer lo the
chart
Delow.
MINIMUM GAUGE
FOR
CORD SETS
Before using an extension cord,
inspect it
for
loose
or exposed
wires,
damaged
insulation,
and defective
lit-
tings. Make any needed
reparrs or
replace
the cord if necessary.
Black &
Decker has
extension
cords available
that are
U.L.
(C.S.A.
in Canada)
listed
for
outdoor use.
