Use the chart below to determine the correct length and gauge of extension cord needed for your particular needs. The amp rating of the motor can be found on its nameplate. If the motor is dual voltage, be sure to use the amp rating for the voltage you will be using. If you use an extension cord with an undersized gauge or one that is too long, excessive heat will be generated within the circuit increas- ing the chance of a fire or damage to the circuit. Only use an extension cord that has a ground pin. Immediately replace an extension cord if it shows any signs of damage.
