EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size
conductors that is capable of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used. This will prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating.
Grounded tools must use 3- wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
