Use of extension cords.
■ MAKE CERTAIN the power cord/extension cord is free
from damage, and that the grounding circuit is
operational. Repair or replace all damaged cords and
grounding units.
■ Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor
use and so marked.
■ Use only the gauge wire and length of cord
recommended for the motor size. If in doubt, go to the
next heavier gauge. (The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.)
■ See (Table 1) for recommended extension cord sizes.

Emergencies

nearest
first aid kit
.
■ Know the phone numbers of the nearest
ambulance
,
doctor
and
fire department
. Ensure
that a phone or radio is readily available at the
jobsite. If this is not possible, know the location of
the nearest phone. This information will be
invaluable in the event of an emergency.
■ ALWAYS know the location of
the nearest
fire extinguisher
.
Use of an extension cord with a wire gauge smaller than, or
length longer than that stated previously could result in
reduced motor performance and/or damage to the motor or
extension cord due to overheating.
■ When extending the cord, DO NOT submerge the
connection in water. Avoid the possiblility of electric
shock by ALWAYS making water-tight connections.
