Use Of Extension Cord
If
the extension cord is intended t o be used outdoors, the cord shall be marked
with the suffix W-A following the cord type designation, for example
-
SJTW-
A, t o indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use. Use an extension cord heavy
enough t o carry the current the tool will draw. Undersize cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting
in loss
of power and over-heating. Make sure the exten-
sion cord is i n good condition before using. Keep the cord away from the cut-
ting area and t o position cord
so
that it
will
not be caught on branches, and the
like, during cutting. Use the table below t o determine the proper wire size re-
quired
in
the extension cord.
