Laboratories (U.L.) (C.S.A. in Canada). If the extension will be used
outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked as
outdoor can also be used for indoor work. An extension cord must have
adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety, and to
prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number
of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has
more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to
make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size. Before using an extension cord, inspect it
for loose or exposed wires, damaged insulation, and defective fittings.
Make any needed repairs or replace the cord if necessary.

safety rules and instructions: polarized plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This equipment must be used with a
suitable polarized 2 wire or 3 wire extension cord. Polarized connections will
fit together only one way. Make sure that the receptacle end of the extension
cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully into
the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable
extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug
or extension cord in any way.
