only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
•
Extension cords.
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 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.
