Extension Cord

If an extension cord is required, it must have
sufficient cross-section to prevent an excessive
drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive
drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead
to failure of the motor. The table below shows
you the correct cord diameter as a function of
the cord length for this tool.
