If an extension cord is
necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable
o
f carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used. This will prevent
excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and
receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the
higher the cord capacity.
