Don't Starve Your Power Tool Motor To Death Using The Correct Extension Cord Gives Your Tool All The Power It Needs Some power tools will burn out in 5 minutes or less in severely starved conditions. Always be aware of the amperage ratings of your tools and your cords

100' 13 AMPS
150' 8 AMPS
200' 6 AMPS
250' 5 AMPS
300' 4 AMPS
REMEMBER:
When you have two or more tools operating simultaneously, you must add the total amperage of all tools operating together to determine the maximum load. Refer to the specification plate on your tools for current draw information

To prevent dangerous resistance heat buildup, espicially in light gauge cords, always uncoil completely when operating under heavy loads. Generally, a 12-3 cord will handle a single tool. Always use 10-3 when multiple tools may be running simultaneously.
