• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using and 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. The following table
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.
