use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at
least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50
feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is
not recommended. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord. An undersizedcord willcause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.

WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
