EXTENSION CORDS
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS.
MAKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS IN GOOD
CONDITION AND IS A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD
WHICH HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING TYPE PLUG
AND MATCHING RECEPTACLE WHICH WILL
ACCEPT THE MACHINE’S PLUG. WHEN USING AN
EXTENSION CORD, BE SURE TO USE ONE HEAVY
ENOUGH TO CARRY THE CURRENT OF THE
MACHINE. AN UNDERSIZED CORD WILL CAUSE
A DROP IN LINE VOLTAGE, RESULTING IN LOSS
OF POWER AND OVERHEATING. FIG. D-1 SHOWS
THE CORRECT GAUGE TO USE DEPENDING ON
THE CORD LENGTH. IF IN DOUBT, USE THE NEXT
HEAVIER GAUGE. THE SMALLER THE GAUGE
NUMBER, THE HEAVIER THE CORD.
