SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS:
EXTENSION CORDS

WARNING:
shock, use only with an extension cord intended for
outdoor use, such as an extension cord of cord type
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A. or SJTOW-A.
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 your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The table 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. If the extension
will be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor
work. The letters "WA" on the cord jacket indicate that the
cord is suitable for outdoor use.
