Element 14 Manual

9) EXTENSION CABLE SELECTION

Note: Make sure the proper extension cord is used and is in good condition.
The use of any extension cord will cause loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and prevent overheating and
motor burnout, use the information below to deter-mine the minimum wire size extension cord.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's
plug. When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy
enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop-in line
voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the information provided below to
determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by
Underwriter's Laboratories approval should be used.
For 110v supply: 3.5metres of 3 core x 1.5mm²
For230v supply: 26metres of 3 core x 1.5mm²
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated
by the letters WA on the cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
