Do It The Safe Way !!
As much as it would be a pain and some expense to do, I would bring in an electrician and have a new line run from the breaker panel. That would ensure that everything is up to code, and fire safe.
Many of the fires that I have dealt with over the years have been caused by electrical issues - usually a circuit that is over loaded, or by an extension cord carrying a load much higher than it was designed to carry.
