voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating, A
wire gage size (A.W,G.) of at least 16 is recommended
for an extension cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord
exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.

^ WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
* sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
