EXTENSION CORD USE 2.5
For optimum welder performance, an extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. If necessary, care must be taken in selecting
anextensioncordappropriateforusewithyourspecicwelder.
Select a properly grounded extension cord that will mate the AC power
cord of the welder with the AC power source receptacle directly, without
the use of adapters. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition.
For an extension cord not exceeding 25 feet in length, choose the same
AWG wire size as that of the power cord on the welder. Extension cord
lengths longer than 25 feet will require heavier wire gauges to compensate
for voltage losses.
