Safety Information
USE PROPER 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
The table below 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
