I ._WARNINGI An extension cord
with adequate size
conductors that is capable of carrying the
current for your tool must be used. This will
prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power,
or overheating. Grounded tools must use
3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
plugs and receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
