If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use (signified by “WA” on the jacket).
The extension cord must have a minimum wire size depending on the amperage of the tool and the length of the extension cord. This size is determined by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating. The smaller the gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity. The amount of cords used does not matter: Total length determines the minimum AWG rating. Every cord must meet the AWG rating. Use the chart below to determine what AWG rating is required for your situation. Cord length is rated in feet. Harbor Freight Tools can supply UL listed and outdoor rated cords in most AWG ratings as needed.
