Extension Cords
⚠
WARNING

USE A 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
drain cleaner will 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.

Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
