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.
