Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are
identified by a marking "Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances, store indoors while not in
use." Use only extension cords having an electrical rating equal to or greater than the rating
of the product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine the extension cord before
using, and replace it if it is damaged. Do not abuse extension cords, and do not yank on any
cord to disconnect it. Keep the cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the
extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
• Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of damaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors should be used to
prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. The table shows the correct
size to use, depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating of tool. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
Tool's Ampere Rating
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
