•
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is the correct size for your appliance. Table (A) on
page 7 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. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
•
Use only three-wire SJ or SJT-type cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and grounding
receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug.
•
To reduce the risk or personal injury due to a loose connection between the appliance’s plug and the
extension cord, firmly and fully attach the appliance plug to the extension cord. Periodically check the
connection while operating to ensure it is fully attached. Do not use an extension cord that provides a
loose connection. A loose connection may result in overheating, fire and increase the risk of burning.
• To reduce the risk of disconnection of the appliance cord from the extension cord during operation;
secure the extension cord to the appliance plug as shown in the Cord Lock Instructions on Page 7.
•
Maintain Appliance With Care- Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
