EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire exten-
sion 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 ex-
ample, 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.
READ AND SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord out-
doors, 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 prop-
erly 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.

TOOL ASSEMBLY
To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug tool before attaching
or removing accessories or making
adjustments. Use only specifi cally
recommended accessories. Others
may be hazardous.
Attaching and Removing the Shear Head
1. Place the shear head on the gear case
collar of the tool.
2. Align the shear head and tool to the
desired angle.
3. Tighten the three (3) cap screws with the
wrench provided. Be sure the screws
are securely tightened before using the
tool.
4. To remove, loosen the three (3) cap
150'
screws and fi rmly pull the shear head
16
forward, twisting slightly.

When necessary, apply a small amount of
MILWAUKEE type "E" grease to the fl ats
in the U-shaped area of the center blade
(Fig. 1).

Adjusting the Shear Head
1. Loosen the three (3) cap screws.
2. Align the shear head and tool to the
desired angle. Move the left blade
forward or backward to adjust the curl
of waste material (Fig.1).
3. Tighten the three (3) cap screws with the
wrench provided. Be sure the screws
are securely tightened before using the
tool.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, wear
safety goggles or glasses with side
shields. Unplug the tool before
changing accessories or making
adjustments.
Starting, Stopping, and Controlling
Speed
1. To start the tool, pull the trigger.
2. To vary the cutting speed, increase or
decrease pressure on the trigger. The
further the trigger is pulled, the greater
the speed.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger.
Locking the Trigger
The lock button holds the trigger in the ON
position for continuous full speed use.
Fig. 2
Trigger
1. To lock the trigger, hold in the lock
button while pulling the trigger. Then,
release the trigger.
2. To unlock the trigger, pull the trigger and
release, the lock button will pop out.
Preparing the Material
Flats
Always lubricate the material to be cut. Use
standard machine oil on steel and mineral
spirits for aluminum.
Cutting
When cutting, hold the tool so that the blades
are in fi rm contact with the material for the
fastest cutting. Apply even pressure. Too
much pressure will tend to jam the tool or
cause a rough cut.
