EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can
use either a two or three wire extension cord.
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge
extension cord. Only use a single 25’ - 50’ 10 gauge cord or a single 25’ or less
12 gauge cord with this tool. 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 gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.
For example, a 10 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 12 gauge cord.
Do not use extension cords with greater gauge numbers.
Do not use the extension cord for more than one tool.
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suf-
x “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualied elec-
trician before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or
wet areas.
