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 Canada)

chemicals or may explode if used
incorrectly. The following care should be
taken to prevent such an incident:
• Make sure the positive (+) and negative (-)
battery terminals are positioned correctly.
• Do not mix new and old batteries together,
or mix different types of batteries.
• Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable
batteries.
If chemicals from the batteries come in
contact with your skin, wash them off imme-
diately with water. If chemicals leak onto the
radio, clean the radio completely.
Changing Back-up Batteries

battery pack is removed and the radio is unplugged,
2 AAA batteries are required.
1. Remove 12V battery
pack and unplug radio.
2. Remove the screw and
battery cover.
3. Insert two (2) AAA
batteries according to
matching positive (+)
and negative (-) marks.
4. Replace the battery
cover and screw.
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
qualifi ed person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
• Unplug all cords during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
Using the AC/DC Power Supply

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury and damage, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow
a liquid to fl ow inside them.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disas-
semble the tool, battery pack or charger.
Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for
ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power
with a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts
on the battery pack. If the tool still does not work
properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack,
to a
MILWAUKEE
service facility for repairs.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from charger and tool
vents. Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil
or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth
to clean the tool, battery pack and charger since
certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to
plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these
include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint
thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia
and household detergents containing ammonia.
Never use flammable or combustible solvents
around tools.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and char-
ger to the nearest service center listed on the back
cover of this operator's manual.
