SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

PERSONAL SAFETY

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WORK AREA SAFETY

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark

areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-

pheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable
liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating

a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

• 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.

Un-

modifi ed 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.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the

risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-

rying, 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.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex-

tension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply.

Use of an GFCI reduces

the risk of electric shock.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

• 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.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.

Use of dust col-

lection can reduce dust-related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 power tool
accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands

of untrained users.

• 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.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly main-

tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.

in accordance with these instructions, 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 hazard-
ous situation.

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear

eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch

is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool.

Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the

switch or energising power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.

• 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.

SERVICE

• Recharge only with the charger specifi ed 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.

• 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.

• 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 make a connection from one terminal to

another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may

cause burns or a fi re.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected

from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

• 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.

• Maintain labels and nameplates.

These carry impor-

tant information. If unreadable or missing, contact a

MILWAUKEE

service facility for a free replacement.

• WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activi-
ties 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.
