GROUNDING
WARNING
EXTENSION CORDS
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
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.
Usingextensioncordswithinadequatelysized
wire causes a serious drop in voltage, result-
ing in loss of power and possible tool damage.
Refer to the table shown to determine the
required minimum wire size.

Improperly connecting the grounding
wire can result in the risk of electric

have it repaired by a MILWAUKEE ser-

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

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.

Be sure your extension cord is prop-
erly wired and in good electrical
condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a
qualified person before using it.
7. Cord keeper
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.

Protect your extension cords from sharp
objects, excessive heat and damp or wet
areas.
9. Counterbalance
Your tool must be plugged into an appropri-
ate outlet, properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances.
The plug and outlet should look like those
in Figure A.
