draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and cause
overheating.
•
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension
cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
•
Grounded tools require a 3-wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a 2- or 3-
wire extension cord.
•
As the distance from the 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.
•
The smaller the
wire’s gauge number, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14-
gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. Minimum extension cord wire size is
shown in the following table:
Minimum Wire Size of Extension Cords
Nameplate AMPS
Cord Length
25' 50' 100' 150'
0-6 18 AWG 16 AWG 16 AWG 14 AWG
6-10 18 AWG 16 AWG 14 AWG 12 AWG
10-12 16 AWG 16 AWG 14 AWG 12 AWG
12-16 14 AWG 12 AWG NOT RECOMMENDED
•
When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord
contains at least the minimum wire size required.
•
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use
the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
•
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix W-A ( W in
Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
•
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 electrician before using it.
•
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
