Extension Cords
  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.  The  following 
table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate 
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage 
number, the heavier the cord.
