could be hazardous. Note: refer to the accessory section of this manual for further details.
•
Check damaged parts.
A part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by manufacturer.
•
Extension cords.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, 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 gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
