polarized receptacle is not available, a
qualified electrical technician will have to

When using extension cords, make sure
the cords are rated for outdoor use. outdoor
use cords are marked with a "W-a" or a
"W" to signify their rating. always check to
make sure that the extension cords are in
good working order and free of any type
of damage, such as exposed wires, cuts,
creased bends, or missing prongs.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which
may damage electrical components and
shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases
as the extension cord size gets longer and
the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge
numbers indicate smaller sizes. When
using extension cords, always choose the
shortest cord possible, with the greatest-
sized gauge.
