EXTENSION CORDS
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 machine’s plug. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Fig. D-1 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.
