cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Figure C.)

5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes

and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See Figure C.)

6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the sufﬁx “W-

A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

7. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always

replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualiﬁed electrician before

using it.

8. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet

areas.
