Extension Cords

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 heav ier the cord.
