Extension Cords - Work Sharp Ken Onion Edition User Manual

Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 110 Volts AC
only means your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not
operate AC tools on DC. A rating of 110 volts AC/DC means that your tool
will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC power. This information is printed on
the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause loss of power and can result in over-
heating.

Extension Cords

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. 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.
