
Grounded meat processors require a 3-wire extension cord. Double Insulated meat processors
can use either a 2- or 3-wire extension cord.

As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.
Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in
loss of power and possible meat processor damage.

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a
14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. Minimum extension cord wire
size is shown in the following table:
Nameplate AMPS
0-6
6-10
10-12
12-16

When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord
contains at least the minimum wire size required.

If you are using one extension cord for more than one meat processor, add the nameplate
amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.

Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
