additional protection from the risk of electric shock. Should replacement of
the plug or cord become necessary, use only identical replacement parts
that include GFCI protection.
EXTENSION CORD USAGE
Extension cords are not recommended for use with this product. If used, extension cords must
be UL listed and use a minimum of 12 A.W.G. wiring. Extension cords should never exceed 25
feet in length. Extension cords, that are too long, cause a voltage drop over the extra distance
causing the motor to run slower with the possibility of causing damage to the motor. Using
extension cords with smaller than the recommended wire gauge run the risk of getting too hot,
melting, and/or causing fires.
