IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY
ADAPTER IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE CANADIAN
MISE A LA TERRE
ELECTRICAL CODE. Make sure that the appliance
is connected to an outlet having the same configu-

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord.
BROCHE DE
MISE À LA TERRE BOÎTE DE SORTIE
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
TIERRE
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 TOMA-
CORRIENTE
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
CUNS
TOMACORRIENTE
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 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.

ASSEMBLY
Unpack accessories and parts from the tank by un-
latching the head and pulling it up and off the base.
Installing the Hose Hooks
1. Remove the screws from the hose hook locations.
2. Fit hose hooks to the brackets.
3. Insert screws and tighten securely.
4. Wrap hose around head, looping above and below
the hose hooks to secure.
Securing the
Power Cord
1. Loop the power cord and
secure in the rear bungee,
as shown.
Filters can become clogged during heavy use.
To maintain the efficiency of the dust extractor,
empty/change the filter bag and clean all of the
filters periodically. Milwaukee suggests cleaning
the filters after 200 holes (at 5/8" diameter, 4"
deep) or an equivalent amount of produced dust.
Installing/Changing the Plastic Dust Bag
1. Unplug tool.
2. Unlatch and remove
head.
3. Remove old bag and
discard according to
regulations.
4. Open the bag fully and fit
the cardboard inlet over
the inlet tube.
5. Pull the bag over the
150'
edges of the tank. En-
16
sure the small holes around the edge of the bag
14
are pulled to the outside of the tank.
12
6. Tuck the bag inside the black
12
tab over the hose inlet. This
--
ensures the bag does not
--
come between the head and
--
tank connection, allowing the
antistatic system to discharge
properly during use.
7. Replace the head and latch it
in place.
