When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use a 3-prong extension cord that has the
capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating
and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord.
ONLY
round jacketed cords
listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.
NOTE:
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

EXTENSION CORDS
KEEP
the extension cord clear of the work
area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,
tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power
tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace
immediately.
NEVER
use tool with a damaged cord, since
touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock
resulting in serious injury.
