IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure

to follow the warnings and instructions may result in serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Use the chest/cabinet and accessories in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended, taking into account the working conditions. Use of the chest/cabinet for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Fully assemble the chest/cabinet according to the assembly instructions. Do not leave off any pieces.
• Chest must be fastened by screws through connectors after it has been placed on top of cabin
• Do not modify the chest/cabinet in any way. Use only specifically recommended accessories. Drilling holes or modifying the chest/cabinet will lower the load capacity, which can cause the chest/cabinet to collapse, resulting in injury.
• Lock wheels when chest/cabinet is not being moved. Unlocked wheels can allow the chest/cabinet to move unexpectedly.
• Keep the chest/cabinet on a level surface. Do not load, unload, or park chest/cabinet on an incline. The chest/cabinet may become unbalanced and tip, resulting in injury.
• Always balance the chest/cabinet load to avoid tipping. Unbalanced chests/cabinets are more likely to tip when being moved or when using the chest/cabinet work surfaces. Evenly distribute the weight front to back and side to side. Place more than half the total load weight on the bottom cabinet when possible. To help prevent the chest/cabinet from tipping, load the product starting with the bottom drawers.
• Do not exceed the maximum product weight, including contents. Do not exceed the maximum weight for each drawer. Overloaded chests/cabinets can tip, collapse, or damage drawer slides.
• Do not open more than one drawer at a time. Chest/cabinet may tip, causing injury.
• Keep children and bystanders away while loading, unloading, and moving chest/cabinet. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Only lift the chest/cabinet according to the instructions in this manual. Never lift by the side handle. Other methods may be dangerous, resulting in injury.
• Only transport the chest/cabinet when empty. Properly secure when transporting.
• Do not mount the chest/cabinet on a truck bed or any other moving object.
• Lock both the lid and all drawers before rolling the chest/cabinet. The drawers could come open and make the chest/cabinet unstable and tip.
• Only roll the chest/cabinet short distances by using the handle provided.
• Secure all items before rolling the chest/cabinet. Loose items could shift, causing the chest/cabinet to become unstable.
• Do not use drawers as steps. Do not stand on the chest/cabinet. Chest/cabinet will tip, causing injury.
• Be careful when closing the chest top cover. Remove hands before closing the top cover.

- Do not use chest/cabinet in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. This equipment has internal arcing or sparking parts. Chest/cabinet should not be located in a recessed area or below floor level.

- Chest/cabinet plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earth (grounded) chest/cabinet power strips. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

- Maintain chest/cabinet. Check for misalignment or binding wheels, breakage or bending of drawer slides or other parts and any other condition that may affect the chest/cabinet's operation. Do not use damaged chest/cabinet.

Always use common sense and be cautious when using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every situation that could result in a dangerous outcome. Do not use this tool if you do not understand these operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained professional for additional information or training.

- Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

- Have your chest/cabinet serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. Visit a local authorized service center for repairs. Components, such as the power strip, are not user replaceable. This will ensure that the safety of the chest/cabinet is maintained.

WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant 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 determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference 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 connected.
• Consult the dealer pan experienced radio/TV technician for help.

GROUNDING

AWARNING Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the chest/cabinet. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the chest/cabinet if the cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Chests/Cabinets with Three Prong Plugs Chests/cabinets marked "Grounding Required" have a power strip with a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet (See Figure A). If the power strip should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the power strip. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the power strip's grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically "live" terminal.

Your power strip must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in Figure A.

SYMBOLOGY

Do not open more than one drawer at a time. Chest/cabinet may tip, causing injury.

Be careful when closing the chest top cover. Remove hands before closing the cover.

Chest must be fastened by screws through connectors after it has been placed on top of cabinet.

Lock wheels when chest/cabinet is not being moved. Unlocked wheels can allow the chest/cabinet to move unexpectedly.

Do not use drawers as steps. Chest/abinet may tip, causing injury.

Lock both the lid and all drawers before moving the chest/cabinet.

Grease Points

Cleaning

This steel product has been coated with industrial powder coating for a durable finish. To help protect the powder coated finish, do not allow harsh chemicals (oil, grease or other chemical) to remain on the powder coating surface. Use a glass cleaner to clean and maintain all surfaces of powder coating.

Keep the chest/cabinet handles and wheels clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a dam cloth to clean your chest/cabinet since certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics.
