16.Use proper extension cord. Examine the extension cord to ensure it is in good condi- tion. Use TABLE 1 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 under- sized gauge or one that is too long, excessive heat will be generated within the circuit increasing the chance of a fire or damage to the circuit. Always use an extension cord that uses a ground pin and connected ground wire. Immediately replace a damaged exten- sion cord.
17. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
