Extension Cords - Milwaukee M18 0886-20 Manuel De L'utilisateur

EXTENSION CORDS

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 suffix "W-A" ("W" in Cana-
da) 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.
• Unplug all cords during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.

WARNING
ger specified for the battery. For specific charg-
ing instructions, read the operator's manual

Inserting/Removing Battery Pack
Insert the battery pack by sliding it into the battery
bay on the front of the fan. Insert the battery pack
until it clicks in place.
To remove the battery pack, push in the release
buttons and pull the battery pack away from the
tool.
Battery Pack Protection
To protect the life of the battery pack, the fan will
shut off when the battery's charge becomes too
low. If this happens, remove the battery pack and
charge it according to the charger's instructions.
Using the AC/DC Power Supply
Only use MILWAUKEE 18 volt AC/DC power supply
Cat. No. 23-81-0701. Insert the power supply into
the 18 volt DC jack on the back of the fan. Plug the
power supply into a suitable wall outlet.
