EXTENSION CORDS

When using where an extension cord is necessary, a 2-conductor grounding cord must be used for safety
as well as cord and plug must be of watertight construction. This will also prevent overheating and a loss of
power. Do not use any AWG smaller than 14. Use AWG 14 for 25-50 feet cord and AWG 12 for cord over
50 feet.
Before using appliance, inspect power cord for loose or exposed wires and damaged insulation. Make any
needed repairs or replacements before using your appliance. Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords.
When vacuuming liquids, be sure the extension cord connection does not come in contact with any liquids
and water.
NOTE: INADEQUATE EXTENSION CORDS CAN BE DANGEROUS
NOTE: STATIC SHOCKS ARE COMMON IN DRY AREAS OR WHEN THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF AIR
IS LOW. THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE USE. TO REDUCE THE
FREQUENCY OF STATIC SHOCKS IN YOUR HOME, THE BEST REMEDY IS TO ADD MOISTURE TO
THE AIR WITH A CONSOLE OR INSTALLED HUMIDIFIER.
