Extension Cords 

WARNING

 

  USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. 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 cause 
overheating. 

  Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged 

extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension 
cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.  

  Grounded tools require a 3-wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a 2- or 3-

wire extension cord. 

  As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. 

Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in 

loss of power and possible tool damage. 

  The smaller the wire’s gauge number, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14-

gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. Minimum extension cord wire size is 

shown in the following table:

NOT RECOMMENDED 

  When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord 

contains at least the minimum wire size required. 

  If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use 

the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. 

  If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix 

W-A

 (

W

 in 

Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use. 

  Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace 

a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it. 

  Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
