EXTENSION CORDS. 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 your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in
line voltage resulting
in
loss
of power and overheating. Table
1
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.

use to protect
the operator from electric shock.
24. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way.
If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug.
If
it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
