EXTENSION CORDS
Use a proper extension cord, ONLY use cords listed by Underwriters Laboratories
(UL). Other extension cords can cause a drop in fine voltage, resulting in a loss of
power and overheating of tool For this tool an AWG (American Wire Gauge) size of
at least 14-gauge is recommended for an extension cord of 25-ft or less in length
Use 12-gauge for an extension cord of 50-ft Extension cords 100-ft. or longer are not
recommended. Remember, a smaller wire gauge size has greater capacity than
a larger number (14-gauge wire has more capacity than 16-gauge wire; 12-gauge
wire has more capacity than 14-gauge) When in doubt use the smaller number
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked
"W-A" or "W" These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Z_ CAUTION:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position
the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions
while you are working with a power tool,
Z_WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious injury.
