EXTENSION CORD
Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-
pole receptacles that accept the power tool’s plug. Replace or repair damaged extension
cord.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current the power tool will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table
below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the
cord.
