Extension Cord
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord be sure it is 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 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.
