EXTENSION CORDS
• When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use
an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, possibly resulting in overheating, loss
RI SRZHU DQGRU GDPDJH WR FLUFXLW EUHDNHU Use the chart to determine the minimum
wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's
Laboratories (UL) should be used. When working outdoors with a product, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with "WA" or "W" on
the cord's jacket. Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and
cut or worn insulation. It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a knot to
prevent them from becoming disconnected during use. Make a knot, then connect the plug
end of the power cord into the receptacle end of the extension cord. This method can also
be used to tie two extension cords together.
USE ONLY THIS SIZE ENTENSION CORD WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT:
