USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS

Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Replace or repair damaged or worn cord immediately. 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. Below table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Ampere Rating		Total length of cord in Metric (230V )
Ampere Rating		8m	15m		30m
		8m	15m		30m
More Than	Not More Than		Metric Wire Size
0	6	1.0mm2	1.5mm2		1.5mm2
6	10	1.0mm2	1.5mm2		2.5mm2
10	12	1.5mm2	1.5mm2		2.5mm2
