I was reading through the manual and it clearly states that extension cords should not be used to the the large current the the compressor draws. This is a big of a problem for me since if I leave it plugged in directly to the socket, the compressor will be right next to my ear and it is a bit noisy.

Has anyone ever had problems using an extension cord to supply power to a compressor and put it somewhere where it will not get in the way?

I don't want to set the house on fire, but if it's a heavy duty extension cord, one of those orange ones, I don't see it causing a problem really.

Can anyone provide any assurance?

TIA
