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 personal injury.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
• Read these instructions.
• Keeps these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this apparatus near water. Never
immerse the apparatus in liquid or allow a liquid to
fl ow inside the apparatus. Water entering an ap-
paratus 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 thin-
ner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and
household detergents 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 instruc-
tions.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appa-
ratus (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
receptacles, 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 outlet. 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 accessibly
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 person-
nel. Servicing is required when the radio has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord
or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or ob-
jects have fallen into the radio, the radio has been
exposed to rain or moisture or does not operate
normally. Service or maintenance performed by un-
qualifi 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 charger 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
batteries 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 out-
door 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
• 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
standard 120 volt AC line or AC generator. It
may also be powered using a 12, 14.4, 18 or 28
volt
battery pack. Do not attempt to
MILWAUKEE
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 com-
ply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursu-
ant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment 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 television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-
ence 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
different from that to which the receiver is con-
nected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

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 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.
• Unplug all cords during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
