UL GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXTENSION CORDS
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 be used according to cord length and 
nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. 
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good 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/wet areas. 
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected 
with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF 
position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a 
lower voltage will damage the motor. 
WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
