The following symbols are used throughout this guide as indicated in their descriptions:

HAZARD INTENSITY LEVEL

There are three levels of hazard intensity identified by signal words -WARNING and CAUTION and FOR

SAFETY. The level of hazard intensity is determined by the following definitions:

Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or

death.

Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in minor personal injury or

product or property damage.

FOR SAFETY: To Identify actions which must be followed for safe operation of equipment.

Report machine damage or faulty operation immediately. Do not use the machine if it is not in proper

operating condition. Following is information that signals some potentially dangerous conditions to the

operator or the equipment. Read this information carefully. Know when these conditions can exist.

Locate all safety devices on the machine. Please take the necessary steps to train the machine

operating personnel.

FOR SAFETY:

DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE:

Unless Trained and Authorized.

Unless Operation Guide is Read and understood.

In areas with possible falling objects.

WHEN SERVICING MACHINE:

Avoid moving parts. Do not wear loose clothing; jackets, shirts, or sleeves when working on the

machine. Use Windsor approved replacement parts.

HAZARD INTENSITY LEVEL

WARNING

CAUTION

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 allow resist-

ance 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 appropriate outlet, properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances.

The plug and outlet should look like those in Figure A.

Figure B illustrates a temporary adapter available for connecting

grounded plugs (Figure A) to two prong outlets. The green rigid ear

or lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box or receptacle. Simply

remove the center screw from the outlet, insert the adapter and reat-

tach the screw through the green grounding ear to the outlet. If in

doubt of proper grounding, call a qualified electrician. A temporary

adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified

electrician. The Canadian Electrical Code prohibits the use of temporary adapters.

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 satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of

Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association and the National Electrical

Code. Double Insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in Figures C

and D or 240 volt as shown in Figure E.

WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding 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 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, return it immediately to your

local rental center to 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.

GROUNDING

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 name-

plate 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 suffix "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 qualified person before using it.

 Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
