EXTENSION CORD USE
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for
safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cable such that 16-gauge has more capacity than 18-gauge. 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. Never use two extension cords together.
