    plug and single socket

    Additional Information:

    • For outdoor use

    Safety Information:

    • Do not overload extension cord or allow it to run through water or snow on the ground.
    • Do not substitute extension cords for permanent wiring.
    • Do not run through walls, doorways, ceilings, or floors. If a cord is covered, heat cannot escape, which may result in a fire hazard.
    • Do not use extension cord for more than one appliance.
    • Multiple plug outlets must be plugged directly into mounted electrical receptacles; they cannot be daisy chained together.
    • The appliance or tool that you are using the cord with will have a wattage rating on it. Match this up with your extension cord, and do not use a cord that has a lower rating.
    • Never use a cord that feels hot or is damaged in any way. Touching even a single exposed strand can give you an electric shock or burn.
    • Never use three-prong plugs with outlets that only have two slots for the plug. Do not cut off the ground pin to force a fit. This defeats the purpose of a three-prong plug and could lead to an electrical shock. Never force a plug into an outlet if it doesn’t fit.
    • Use extension cord with a polarized and/or three-prong plug.
