Safety Rules and Instructions: Extension Cords
Double insulated tools have 2‑wire cords and can be used with 2‑wire or 3‑wire
extension cords. Only round jacketed extension cords should be used, and
we recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) (C.S.A.
in Canada). If the extension will be used outside, the cord must be suitable
for outdoor use. Any cord marked as outdoor can also be used for indoor
work. An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American
Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The
smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable,
that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than
one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension
contains at least the minimum wire size. Before using an extension cord,
inspect it for loose or exposed wires, damaged insulation, and defective
fittings. Make any needed repairs or replace the cord ifnecessary.
To determine the minimum wire size required, refer to the chart:

Safety Rules and Instructions: Polarized Plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This equipment must be used with a
suitable polarized 2 wire or 3 wire extension cord. Polarized connections will
fit together only one way. Make sure that the receptacle end of the extension
cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully into
the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable
extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact
4
a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug
or extension cord in anyway.
