Extension Cords
• Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of
d
amaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors should be used to pre-
vent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
o
verheating. The table shows the correct size to
use, depending on cord length and nameplate
amperage rating of tool. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. Always use UL and CSA listed
extension cords.
RECOMMENDED SIZES OF EXTENSION CORDS
120 VOLT ALTERNATING CURRENT TOOLS
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the higher the
cord capacity.

Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
