Extension Cords
1. Grounded Lights require a three-wire extension cord.
Double Insulated Lights can use either
a two or three wire extension cord.
2. 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. (See Table A.)
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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 cord size.
6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make
sureitismarkedwiththesufx“W-A”(“W”in
Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
7. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired
byaqualiedelectricianbeforeusingit.
8. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
