Whenusinga powertoolat a considerabledistancefromthe
powersource,use anextensioncordheavy enoughto carry
the current that the tool will draw.An undersizedextension
cord willcause a drop in line voltage, resulting in elossof
powerand causingthe motor to overheat. Use the chart
providedbelowto determine the minimum wire sizerequired
inan extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by
UnderwritersLaboratories (UL)should be used.

When workingwith the too] outdoors, use an extension
cord that isdesigned for outsideuse. Thisis indicated by
the letters "WA"on the cord'sjacket.
Beforeusing an extensionoord, inspectit for loose or
exposedwires and cut or worn insulation.
