ELECTRICAL (CONT.)
Extension cords may be used with the machine, providing the cord is equipped with three wires,
12 gauge in size, with ground plugs and not longer than 50’ in length. Using extension cords with
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage resulting in possible machine damage. The
smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 12 gauge
cord can carry a higher current than a 14 gauge cord.
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in
Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects and excessive heat.
