SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

•Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

•Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

•Hold power tools by insulated gripping sur- faces, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

•Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts.

•Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

•WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause can- cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•lead from lead-based paint

•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe- ciﬁcally designed to ﬁlter out microscopic particles.

GROUNDING

WARNING Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of elec- tric shock. Check with a qualiﬁed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a MILWAUKEE service facility before use. If the plug will not ﬁt the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs Tools marked “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet (See Figure A). If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.

The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool's grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. Your tool must

be plugged into an appropriate outlet, prop- erly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The

plug and outlet should look like those in Figure A.

Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisﬁes OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwrit- ers Laboratories, Inc., the Cana-

dian Standard Association and the National Electrical Code. Double Insulated tools may be used in ei- ther of the 120 volt outlets shown in Figures B and C.

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet 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 required 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 contains at least the minimum wire size required. 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.

Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

•If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the sufﬁx “W-A” (“W” in Cana- da) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

•Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged 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.
