Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a
3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug of the product. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage. Resulting in loss of power and overheating. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
