USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.

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. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and

nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num-

ber, the heavier the cord.
