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.

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

cancer, 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-

cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

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.
