•When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Volts			Minimum Gage for Cord Sets
			0-25	Total Length of Cord in Feet
120V				26-50	51-100	101-150
240V			(0-7,6m)	(7,6-15,2m) (15,2-30,4m) (30,4-45,7m)
