IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
READ, UNDERSTAND AND
FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
.
Failure to heed all warnings listed below, may
result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious per-
sonal injury.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Read these instructions.
• Keeps these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this apparatus near water.
Never im-
merse the apparatus in liquid or allow a liquid to fl ow
inside the apparatus. Water entering an apparatus
will increase the risk for electric shock.
• Clean only with dry cloth.
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 deter-
gents containing ammonia. Clean dust and debris
from vents. Keep the apparatus handle clean, dry
and free of oil or grease.
• Do not block any ventilation openings.
Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not install near any heat sources
such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifi ers) that produce heat.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polar-
ized or grounding-type plug.
A polarized plug
has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong
are provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not fi t into your outlet, consult an electrician
for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience re-
ceptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord to carry the radio or pull the plug from an out-
let. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock
and may create a fi re.
• Use only attachments/accessories specifi ed by
the manufacturer.
• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods. Remove power
supply from outlet when not in use.
• Only plug power supply into readily accessible
outlet to allow the appliance to be unplugged
quickly.
• Only operate this apparatus in a well ventilated
area.
• Refer all servicing to qualifi ed service personnel.
Servicing is required when the radio has been dam-
aged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the radio, the radio has been exposed to
rain or moisture or does not operate normally. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualifi ed personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
• A battery operated radio with integral batteries or
a separate battery pack must be recharged only
with the specifi ed charger for the battery.
A char-
ger that may be suitable for one type of battery may
create a risk of fi re when used with another battery.
• Use battery operated radio only with specifi cally
designated battery packs.
Use of any other bat-
teries may create a risk of fi re.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause sparks, burns, or a fi re.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
• Do not use any adaptor plugs.
• When operating a radio outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.
These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk
of electric shock.
• Never disassemble the radio or try to do any
rewiring on the radio's electrical system.
• Do not expose this apparatus to dripping and
splashing, or place objects fi lled with liquids on
this unit.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR RADIO
• Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
• This radio is designed to be powered by a stan-
dard 120 volt AC line or AC generator.
It may
also be powered using a 12, 14.4, 18 or 28 volt
MILWAUKEE
battery pack. Do not attempt to use
with any other voltage or power supply
.

WARNING
Changes or modifi cations to this unit
not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equip-
ment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-
sion reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-
ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

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 suffi x “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 qualifi ed
person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

CAUTION
The lightning fl ash with arrowhead symbol, within an equi-
lateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's
enclosure that may be of suffi cient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accom-
panying the appliance.
GROUNDING
Double Insulated Radios:
Radios with Two Prong Plugs
Radios marked “Double Insulated” do not require
grounding. They have a special
Fig. A
Fig. B
double insulation system which
satisfi es OSHA requirements
and complies with the appli-
cable standards of Underwrit-
ers Laboratories, Inc., the Ca-
nadian Standard Association
and the National Electrical
Code. Double Insulated radios
may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in
Figures A and B.
