cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas. Grounded tools require a 3-wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a 2- or 3wire extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.
