GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, make sure you use one
heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table
above shows the correct size to use according to
extension cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. The smaller
the gauge number the heavier the cord.
NOTE: The 0 to 6 amp rating is correct for this tool. It is
highlighted in the table above.
