EXTENSIONCORDS

TOOL ASSEMBLY

Grounded tools require a three wire ex- tension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the supply out- let increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer

Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

• If you are using an extension cord out-

doors, be sure it is marked with the

suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indi-

cate that it is acceptable for outdoor

use.

• Be sure your extension cord is prop-

erly wired and in good electrical

condition. Always replace a damaged

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, al- ways unplug tool before attaching or removing accessories. Use only specifically recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous.

WARNING!

To prevent personal injury, al- ways remove the chuck key from the chuck after each use.

to the table shown to determine the re- quired minimum wire size.

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord con- tains at least the minimum wire size re- quired. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.

extension cord or have it repaired by a

qualified person before using it.

• Protect your extension cords from

sharp objects, excessive heat and

damp or wet areas.

Removing and Replacing Quik-Lok®Cords (Fig. 1)

MILWAUKEE's exclusive Quik-Lok®Cords provide instant field replacement or substitution.

1.To remove the Quik-Lok®Cord, turn the cord nut 1/4 turn to the left and pull it out.

2.To replace the Quik-Lok®Cord, align the connector keyways and push the con- nector in as far as it will go. Turn the cord nut 1/4 turn to the right to lock.

1. Open the chuck jaws wide enough to

insert the bit. Be sure the bit shank and

chuck jaws are clean. Dirt particles may

prevent the bit from lining up

properly.

2. When using drill bits, insert the bit into

the chuck. Center the bit in the chuck

jaws and lift it about 1/16" off of the

bottom. Tighten the chuck jaws by hand

to align the bit.

READ AND SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.

MILWAUKEE Magnum Drills are supplied with a side handle that can be installed on either side of the tool for right or left handed use. To install the side handle, thread it into the socket on the desired side of the tool and tighten it securely. Always use the side handle for best control.

Fig. 2

When using screwdriver bits, insert the

bit far enough for the chuck jaws to

grip the bit shank. Tighten the chuck

jaws by hand to align the bit.

3. Place the chuck key in each of the three

holes in the chuck, turning it clockwise

as shown. Tighten securely.

4. To remove the bit, insert the chuck key

into one of the holes in the chuck and

turn it counterclockwise.
