EXTENSION CORDS

Double insulated tools, like this one, have two
prong cords, and can use either a two or three
prong extension cord. As the distance from the
supply outlet increases, however, heavier gauge

extension cords are required. The use of exten-
sion cords of inacfequate size wire causes a seri-
ous drop in voltage and loss of power. Protect
the cord from damage. Keep cords away from

excessive heat, sharp edges and damp or wet
areas. Repair or replace damaged extension

cords before using.
