 Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less
in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom-
mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line volt-
age resulting in loss of power and overheating.

using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
 If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.
