GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS

 

 
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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 overheating. The table below 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. 
 
 

Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords (AWG) 

(when using 120 V only) 

 

 
 

Make 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 use. Keep extension cords 
away from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas. 
 
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit should comprise a wire of at least 12 
gauge and should be protected with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to 
the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is identical to 
that stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor. 
 

 

WARNING! 

Although this device is double-insulated, the extension cord and receptacle must still be 
grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
