EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors
that is capable of carrying the current necessary for your tool must be
used. This will prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. Grounded tools
must use 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
