• EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition.

is heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in toss of power and
overheating. The following table shows
the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. Ifin doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
