Use Of Extension Cord - Metabo HPT M 12V2 Mode D'emploi

USE OF 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 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.
