• 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. The following table 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 number, the heavier the cord.

Symbols

• The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The symbols and their
definitions are as follows:
V..................volts A ..................amperes
Hz................hertz W..................watts
