ELECTRICAL SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS
WARNING
WORK AREA SAFETY
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of fl ammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
3.
K e e p c h i l d re n a n d b y s t a n d e r s
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
PERSONAL SAFETY
4.
Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
5.
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.
6.
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
7.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
8.
W h e n o p e r a t i n g a p o w e r t o o l
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re and/or
serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
a power tool while you are tired or
under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.
A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
10.
Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
11.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
plugging in.
Carrying tools with your fi nger
on the switch or plugging in power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
12.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
13.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This
enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
14.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
15.
If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.
9.
Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use

16.
Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application.
The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
BATTERY TOOL USE
AND CARE
SERVICE
17.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
18.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools.
Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
19.
Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tools or
these instructions to operate power
tools.
Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
20.
Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
21.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
22.
Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed.
Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
make a connection from one terminal
to another.
Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fi re.
27.
Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery,
avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help.
Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
28.
Have your power tool serviced by
a qualifi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
1
. Use auxiliary handles supplied with
the tool.
Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
2.
Wear ear protectors with impact drills.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
3.
Hold tools by insulated gripping
s u r f a c e s w h e n p e r f o r m i n g a n
operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
4.
Keep hands away from all cutting
edges and moving parts.
5.
Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact a
MILWAUKEE
service facility for a free
replacement.
6.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
•
lead from lead-based paint
•
crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to
fi lter out microscopic particles.
23.
Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack.
Inserting
the battery pack into power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
24.
Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer.
A
charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fi re
when used with another battery pack.
25.
Use power tools only with specifi cally
designated battery packs.
Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fi re.
26.
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
