Extension Cords; Tool Assembly - Milwaukee 6088-30 Manual Del Operador

EXTENSION CORDS

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. Us-
ing 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.
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.

Installing the Side Handle
The side handle may be installed on the top of the gear case or on either
side of gear case for right or left handed use. Position side handle in the
location which offers best control and guard protection. For operating zones
that provide maximum protection for the operator, see Fig. 9. To install, thread
side handle into side handle socket on desired side of gear case and tighten
securely.
To reduce the risk of injury when grinding, ALWAYS use the proper
guard. ALWAYS properly install the guard.
Installing, Adjusting, and Removing the Guard
The guard must be used when using the tool as a grinder. The guard should
be removed when using tool as a sander.
1. To install the guard, unplug the tool and place it upside down on a level
surface. Remove any accessories from the spindle.
Line up the tabs with the tab slots (Fig. 2). Then press the guard down
onto the tool.
