Extension Cords - Chicago Electric 44677 Owner's Manual & Safety Instructions

Delayed or inadequate cleaning will permanently clog the Spray Gun.

EXTENSION CORDS

1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension
cord. Double Insulated tools can use either
a two or three wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using
extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a
serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and
possible tool damage. (See Figure C, next page.)
3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example,
a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current
than a 16 gauge cord. (See Figure C.)
4. When using more than one extension cord to make
up the total length, make sure each cord contains at
least the minimum wire size required. (See Figure C.)

NOTICE
5. If you are using one extension cord for more
than one tool, add the nameplate amperes
and use the sum to determine the required
minimum cord size. (See Figure C.)
6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make
sure it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in
Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
7. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired
by a qualified electrician before using it.
8. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
