Extension Cord Usage
Using only a heavy duty three wire grounded extension cord connected to a three wire grounded electricity source will decrease your chances of an electrical shock and increase the quality of the finished brand. The iron will not work properly if the extension cord is improperly sized too small. See below chart for recommended gauge cord.
