is the correct size for your appliance. The Minimum
Gauge for Cord Sets chart below shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating

periodically and replace if damaged.
• To reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from
the extension cord during operating:
a ) Make a knot as shown in below; OR
b ) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or
connectors described in this manual; OR

injury due to a loose electrical connection between
the appliance’s plug and extension cord, firmly and
fully attach the appliance plug to the extension cord.
Periodically check the connection while operating to

cord that provides a loose connection. A loose
connection may result in overheating, fire, and
increases the risk of a burning.
