If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install theproper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug inany way.Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.

An undersized cord will cause a drop in linevoltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table shows the correct size to use depending oncord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gaugenumber, the heavier the cord. If the extension will be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoorwork.
