EXTENSION CORDS
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on
the product. 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. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A
after the cord type designation. For example, a designation of SJTW-A would indicate that the cord would be
appropriate for outdoor use. For proper size cords see chart below.
