Corbin's advice of the day....
A common mistake made in the world of tools is using a extension cord that is under gauged and too long. When using power tools you should if possible directly plug it into the socket. If you have to use an extension cord make sure you use a heavy gauge cord. it is recommended that you use a 10 gauge cord and as short as possible for larger power tools(table saw, portable planer or other large equipment). For smaller power tools (sawzalls,Skill saws, or any hand tools) use a 12-14 gauge cord and as short as possible.By doing this the motor will last longer and not have to work as hard when using an under gauged or cord that is too long, makes the motor work to pull power and burns it up.
