EXTENSION CORDS
Your tool has a three prong plug, therefore you must use a three- prong extension cord. Only use rounded jacket extension cords listed by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL). If you are using the tool outdoors, you must use an extension cord rated for outdoor use. This is signified by the letters “WA” on the jacket.
The extension cord must have a minimum wire size depending on the amperage of the tool and the length of the extension cord. This size is signified by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating. The smaller the gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity. It does not matter if you are using one cord, or two or more- the total length is what is used to determine the minimum AWG rating. Every cord used must meet the AWG rating. Use the chart below to determine what AWG rating is required for your situation. Cord length is rated in feet.

Always inspect extension cords for any damage. If there are any loose, frayed, or exposed wires; damaged insulation; or defective connections, the cord must not be used. Harbor Freight Tools can supply UL listed and outdoor rated cords in multiple AWG rating if needed.
