EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension
cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching
receptacle which will accept the machine's plug. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Fig. D shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord
length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
