EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and
matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Fig. D-1 or D-2, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the
cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.
