Safety Instructions For Power Tools
9.USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condi- tion. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool name- plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
