When using the appliance at a distance where an extension cord becomes necessaiy, a
3-
conductor grounding cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to prevent
loss
of

Use
the table below to determine A.W.G. wire size required. Before
using appliance, inspect power cord for

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
