Extension Cords Specific Safety Rules For Pole Saw mWARNING! • Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate Ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
