FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Imroper cord gauge can cause overheating. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle
which will accept the machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Fig. D-1 shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
