to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage

the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.

be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function – check
for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. A guard
