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 Table a.)
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 Table a.)
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 the 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 the extension cords from sharp
objects, excessive heat, and damp or
wet areas.
