* CORD SETS: Make sure the cord
on the unit and the extension
cord are in good condition. The
extension cord should be heavy
enough to carry the current the unit
will draw. An undersized cord wilt
cause a drop in line voltage that
will cause the unit to loose power
and overheat. The above table
shows the correct extension cord
sized based on the cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If you are
not sure what cord size to use, use
the next heavier size line gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
* DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD-
Never carry the unit by its cord or
pull on it to disconnect it from the
receptacle. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil, and sharp edges and
corners.
* ROUTINELY INSPECT CORDS =
Routinely inspect the units cord as
well as the extension cord used.
Look for cuts, nicks, or cracks in the
cords insulation. Also inspect the
connections to see if they are bent
or broken. Repair or replace cords if
any defects appear.
