carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line volt-
age resulting in loss of power and overheating.
A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or
less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not
recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.

suitable for use outdoors. Outdoor approved
cords are marked with the suffix W-A, for example
