cords having an electrical rating not less than the
rating of the product. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating.

It is possible to tie the extension cord
and power cord in a knot to prevent
them from becoming disconnected
during use. Make the knot as shown,
then connect the plug end of the
power cord into the receptacle end of the

electric shock, this product has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This product
must be used with a suitable polarized extension
cord. Polarized connections will fit together only
one way. Make sure that the receptacle end of
the extension cord has large and small blade slot
widths. If the plug does not fit fully into the
extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, obtain a suitable extension cord. If the
extension cord does not fit fully into the proper
outlet. Do not change the tool plug or extension
cord in any way.
