2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Use of Extension Cords Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper size extension cords with the tool - that is, proper wire size for various lengths of cord and heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see chart below.
