Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which
has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the tool’s plug. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the tool. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord
length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
