GROUNDING
WARNING
Improperly connecting the ground-
ing wire can result in the risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug pro-
vided 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 t the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
Double Insulated Tools (Two-Prong Plugs)
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require
grounding. They have a special double insulation
system which satises OSHA requirements and
complies with the applicable standards
Fig. B
Fig. C
of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the
Canadian Standard Association and
the National Electrical Code. Double
Insulated tools may be used in either
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 sux “W-A” (“W” in Canada) 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 qualied
person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
