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

resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table A 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.
