7.1 Extension Cord
If an extension cord is required, it must have
sufficient cross-section to prevent an excessive
drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive
drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead
to failure of the motor. The table below shows
you the correct cord diameter as a function of
the cord length for this tool.

Use only NRTL listed extension cords.
Never use two extension cords together. In
stead, use one long one.
The lower the AWG number, the stronger
the cord.
