EXTENSION CORDS
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following 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.
