USE OF 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 product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.
