• Do not use an extension
cord unless it
is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in risk of fire,
electric shock; or electrocution.
• An extension cord must have adequate
wire size (AWG or American
Wire Gauge)
for safety. The smaller the gauge number
of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity
than 18 gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be
sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size.
