for outdoor use. Extension cords in
poor condition or that are too small in
wire size can pose fire and shock
hazards. To reduce the risk of these
hazards when using an extension cord,
be sure it is in good condition and that
the connection does not come into
contact with liquid. To keep power loss
to a minimum, use the following table
to choose the minimum wire size
extension cord.
