Mow your lawn. If the cord is appreciably warm after you're done,
replace it with at 14 or 12 gauge extension cord.

I came across an extension cord that the previous owner left in the shed. I looked for any writing of the size of this cord...there is absolutely none.

Is there a way to check the gauge of it? It is usable, but nervous in using it on my electric lawn mower, as an example.



Most positive way is to take an end off and measure the wire with a

gauge.

No, I have neither volt meter nor know what is a gauge measurer. Thanks
