2.As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using exten- sion cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and pos- sible tool damage.

(See Table A.) The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For ex-
