Cord Sets - Make sure your cord set is in good

a cord that is heavy enough to carry the current
that your unit wilI draw. An undersized cord set
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
power and overheating. The table (below) shows
the correct size to use depending on the cord
length and nameplate amperage rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier size Iine gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
