Do not modify the equipment and do not use the
equipment for a purpose for which it is not intended.
42. 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.
The table below shows the correct cord size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
