Hey! So I bought this Black and Decker 14" corded string trimmer, GH3000. I'd like to run a 100' or really 200' cord with it, so I can go far back on my lawn.
But the owner's manual has a chart. The chart says two things:
- my cord shouldn't be more than 10Amp
- a 101'+ cord needs to be 12 gauge.
When I look online, all the 100 foot 12-gauge cords are 15 amp. (And I can't even find 200' cords.)
So how do I get a long cord with the correct amp rating? what happens if the amp rating on the cord is too high? Too much power?
Thanks!
Bill
