EXTENSION CORDS
OPERATION
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 to the table shown to determine the re- quired minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire,
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord out- |
doors, be sure it is marked with the |
suffix |
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 |
extension cord or have it repaired by a |
qualified person before using it. |
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.
• Protect your extension cords from |
sharp objects, excessive heat and |
damp or wet areas. |

WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields. Unplug the tool before changing accessories or making adjustments. Use only specifically recommended MILWAUKEE hammer irons. Others may damage tool.

Installing Hammer Irons (Fig. 1 & 2)
Your demolition hammer is designed to ac- cept 3/4" hex hammer irons. MILWAUKEE offers a complete line of irons which are fully interchangeable with competitive 3/4" demolition hammers irons. The 5335 ham- mer IS NOT designed to accept 3/4" bits designed for the MILWAUKEE Rotary Ham- mer. The important difference between these two types of accessories is the end of the shank. Irons designed for the 5335 have a

WARNING!
The hammer iron and the nose- piece of the tool will get hot during normal use. Always use caution when removing hot irons.

Always clean and grease the iron shank before inserting the iron into the tool. In- spect the end of the bit shank to make sure it is not “mushroomed”, as described in “Maintaining Hammer Irons”. Always make sure that the iron is in good working condi- tion before use.
Removing Hammer Irons

3.If you used the hammer recently, handle the iron with care because it may still be hot. Pull the iron straight out of the hammer nose.
Dust Shield
The tool is shipped with a dust shield. Al- ways install the dust shield to prevent dust and debris from damaging the internal com- ponents of the tool (See “Installing Ham- mer Irons”).
