Extension Cords
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either
a two or three 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 tool damage.
Refer to the table shown to determine the required minimum wire size.
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. When using
more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at
least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than
one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum
wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix "W-A"
("W" in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Be 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 person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
