11. Extension Cord – Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized extension cord
will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table below shows the
correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere
rating.
Minimum wire gauge for extension
cords for 120 Volt appliances using
0 - 6 amps
For ampere rating of this appliance see
"Specifications"
Cord length (ft) 25 50
Wire size (AWG) 18 16
If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
Appropriate extension cords are
available in specialty stores for electrical
equipment or from your STIHL dealer.
