POWER TOOL OPERATION
Extension Cords
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size
conductors that is capable of carrying the current necessary
for your tool must be used. This will prevent excessive voltage
drop, loss of power or overheating. Grounded tools must
use 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and
receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the higher the cord
capacity.
