GROUNDING
DANGER
Improperly connecting the ground-
ing wire can result in the risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified 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 fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Grounded Tools (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 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 appro-
Fig. A
priate outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in Figure A.
Double Insulated Tools (Two-Prong Plugs)
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require ground
-
ing. They have a special double insulation system which
satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the
applicable standards of Underwriters
Fig. B Fig. C
Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Stan
-
dard Association 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.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING
Recharge only with the charger
specified for the battery. For spe
-
cific charging instructions, read the operator’s
manual supplied with your charger and battery.
Removing/Inserting the Battery
To
remove
the battery, push in the release buttons
and pull the battery pack away from the tool.
WARNING
Always remove battery pack before
changing or removing accessories.
To
insert
the battery, slide the pack into the body
of the tool. Make sure it latches securely into place.
WARNING
Only use accessories specifically
recommended for this tool. Others
may be hazardous.
Inserting/Removing Extension Cord
When not using the AC option, make sure the AC
doors are closed completely.
Open the
door and plug a suitable extension
cord into the light. To disconnect the extension cord,
press the Power
button to turn off the light, then
remove the cord from the outlet.
NOTE:
When an extension cord is plugged into the
light, the light will automatically run on AC power.

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
• 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.
