cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.Table I shows the

correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,

use the next heavier gage.The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cordoTo reduce

the risk of disconnection of appliance cord

from the extension cord during operating: i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 2; or ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps
