.
Double insulated tools can use
either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a
heavier gauge extension cord. using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required
minimum wire size.
