Accessories
If an extension cord is
necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable of
carrying the current necessary for your tool
must be used.
This will prevent excessive
voltage drop, loss of power or overheating.
Grounded tools must use 3-wire extension
cords that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.

When cleaning gum and wood pitch from

or similar solvent to remove the gum and pitch.
