CHAINSAW COMPONENTS
EXTENSION CORDS
If you use an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your electric saw will
draw. An improper gauged extension cord will cause a drop in wire voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Use only extension cords having an electric rating not less than the rating of the product.
The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and machine ampere rating.
