EXTENSION COrDS

Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord
use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must
use a heavier gauge extension cord. using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop
in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the
required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. for example: a 14-gauge cord
can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total
length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord
for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire
size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to
indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
