Connecting to Power
Supply
Make sure your cord set is in good
condition. When using an extension cord
set, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized extension cord set will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The table
below shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Minimum wire gauge for extension cords
for 120 Volt appilances using 6 - 10
Amps (Cord types SJW or SJTW):
