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.

part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that
it
will
operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that

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.
