•Do not overload the extension cord
•Do not connect an extension cord to another extension cord
•Do not plug in high power electric appliances (such as hair dryers or microwave ovens)
•Do not use an extension cord that is still tied up
•Regularly replace old extension cords
B:When buying an extension cord pay attention to the following:
•Make sure it has an independent power switch
•Ensure it has an overload protection feature
•Only buy extension cords with a product safety mark
