AN EXTENSION CORD RATED FOR OUTDOOR OPERATION.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause
overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

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
person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit should not be less than
#12 wire and should be protected with a 15 A time delayed fuse. Before
connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the
motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
