Extension cords:
WARNING:
Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. When using an extension cord, make sure that the pins of the
extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those in the charger; and 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.
