Do NOT put a heavy load on a coiled cord, it can't dissipate the heat.

As I push the cord in, I give a quarter turn clockwise every foot to foot and a half. As I pull the cord out I give a quarter turn counterclockwise every foot to foot and a half. It has never tangled or given me any trouble after starting that practice years ago.
