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 suffi x “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

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
ASSEMBLY
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug tool before attaching or remov-
ing accessories or making adjustments. Use
only specifi cally recommended accessories.
Others may be hazardous.
Removing and Replacing Quik-Lok ® Cords
(Select Models)
MILWAUKEE's exclusive Quik-Lok
® Cords provide
instant fi eld 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 connec-
tor keyways and push the connector in as far as
it will go. Turn the cord nut 1/4 turn to the right
to lock.
Installing the Side Handle
The side handle may be installed on either side
of gear case for right or left handed use. Position
side handle in the location which offers best control
and guard protection. For operating zones that
provide maximum protection for the operator, see
"Grinding". To install, thread side handle into side
handle socket on desired side of gear case and
tighten securely.
Installing, Adjusting, and Removing the Guard
(Select Models)
The guard must be used when using the tool as a
grinder. The guard should be removed when using
tool as a sander.
1. Unplug the tool and place it upside down on a
level surface. Remove any accessories from the
spindle.
2. Place the grinding wheel guard over the spindle.
Position the guard in the location which offers
best control and guard protection. For operating
zones that provide maximum protection for the
operator, see "Grinding".
3. Fasten the guard to the lower half of the gear
case with screws and lock washers provided.
Fig. 1 WARNING To reduce the risk of injury
when grinding, ALWAYS use the proper guard.
ALWAYS properly install the guard.
GROUNDING
WARNING Improperly connecting the
grounding wire can result in the risk of elec-
tric shock. Check with a qualifi ed 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
fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualifi ed electrician.
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, properly
installed and grounded in ac-
cordance with all codes and ordi-
nances. 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 insula-
tion system which satisfi es OSHA requirements
and complies with the applicable standards of
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.,
the Canadian Standard Asso-
ciation and the National Elec-
trical Code. Double Insulated
tools may be used in either of
the 120 volt outlets shown in
Figures B and C.
