number, the heavier the cord. An undersized extension cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating.
• Maintain Appliance With Care – Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged.
• To reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from
the extension cord during operating:
a ) Make a knot as shown in Fig. T; OR
b ) Use one of the plug‑receptacle retaining straps or
