8. Warning: To reduce the risk of
electric shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor
use, such as an extension cord of
cord type
SW - A, SOW - A, STW - A, STOW - A,
SJW - A, SJOW - A, SJTW - A, or
SJTOW - A.
9. Cord Sets – Make sure your cord set
is in good condition. When using an
extension cord set, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An
undersized extension cord set 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. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.
Minimum wire gauge for extension
cords for 120 Volt appliances using
0 - 6 amps
Cord length (ft) 25 50
Wire size (AWG) 18 16
Appropriate extension cords are
available in special stores for electrical
equipment or from your STIHL dealer.
