IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! To prevent electric shock use only with an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use, such as SW, SOW, STW, STOW, SJW, SJOW, SJTW, or SJTOW.
8) Extension cord – Make sure your extension cord set 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. (NOTE: Table 1 shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.)
