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 cord
will cause a drop in line Voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. A wire gage size (A.W.G.)
of at least 14 is recommended for an extension
cord I00 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding
I00 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.
OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool
is used outdoors, use only extension cords suitable
for use outdoors. Outdoor approved cords are
marked with the suffLxW-A, for example - SJTW-A
