EXTENSION
CORDS.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
Cord insulation must
be intact with no cracks or deterioration.
Plug connectors
must be undamaged.
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,
which can shorten the life of the motor. The table 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.
