SAFETY RULES FOR EXTENSION CORD
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 extension cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord. To reduce the risk of
disconnection of appliance cord from the
extension cord during operating:
I) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1; or
II) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining
straps or connectors described in this manual.
