Extension Cords
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire 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.
(see Table A.)
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.
(see Table A.)
When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.
(see Table A.)
5.
6.
7.
8.
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 Table A.)
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.
Make sure the 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.
Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

To pREvEnT sERious injuRY
AnD DEATh:
Do noT ConnECT gEnERAToR DiRECTlY To housEholD WiRing.
A portable electric generator that is connected to your household wiring without a proper cut off switch can
‘back feed’ into the power lines connected to your home. power created by your generator can injure or even kill a utility lineman making outage repairs many miles away.
Only a certified electrician can safely connect the generator to your home’s wiring.
1.
2.
Make sure your generator is properly grounded to avoid electrical shocks.
Connect a 10 gauge or larger insulated copper wire to the Ground
Connection on the Control Panel.
Connect this wire to a suitable external ground, such as a metal stake in the ground.
Don’t overload the generator. The total wattage used by the appliances should be less than the output rating of the generator. If you put too many appliances on the generator, it could seriously damage the appliances and electronics. Overloading the generator could also cause fires in the power cord. This generator is rated at 3000 / 3500 Watts.
note: At start-up, appliances draw more power in a surge than they do during continuous operation. When figuring total wattage of all appliances connected to this generator, use the higher start-up amperage rating of each appliance.
3.
4.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle.
Move the AC Circuit Breaker switch to the ON position.
5. Plug in your extension cord or appliance.
6. Be sure that all appliances are in good working order before connecting them to the generator. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn off the AC Circuit Breaker and the generator Engine Power Switch immediately. Then disconnect the appliance and examine it for signs of malfunction.
