providedfrom toolto powercircuit receptacle.Also, besurethat theconductor sizeis largeenough toprevent excessivevoltagedrop
which will cause loss of power. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found below.
For nameplate ampere ratings which are between those given, use the extension cord recommended for the NEXT higher ampere
rating.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffixi W-A following the cord type designation. For example
— SJTW-A to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
