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
inlinevoltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. Table 1shows the
correct size touse depending oncord lengthandnameplateampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
