EXTENSION CORDS
For optimum performance,
an extension cord
should not be used unless absolutely neces-
sary. If necessary, care must be taken in
selecting an extension cord appropriate for
use with your specific plasma cutter.
Select a properly grounded extension cord
that will mate directly with the power source
receptacle and the plasma cutter power cord
without the use of adapters. Make certain
that the extension cord is properly wired and
in good electrical condition.
Extension cords must be a #12 gauge cord
at the smallest. Do not use an extension
cord over 25 ft. in length.
