Use Proper Extension Cord - Hitachi C 7WDM Safety And Instruction Manual

English

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only 3-conductor type extension cords
that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
