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 fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam
-
aged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or tem
-
perature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside

manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
UTILITY CRIMPER
• Use tool only as directed. Only trained personnel
should operate tool.
•
WARNING
To reduce the risk of explosion,
electric shock and property
damage, do not use on live electrical lines.
T
ool is NOT insulated. Contact with a live
circuit could result in severe injury or death.
Turn off power before making a crimp.
• Do not use tool without crimping jaws installed.
Fingers could be crushed.
• Keep hands away from crimping jaws while tool
is in use.
Fingers could be crushed.
•To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles
or glasses with side shields when operating or
servicing the tool.
•
Inspect and discard workpieces with cracks or
wear before use. Materials may crack or shatter.
• Use tool only with MILWAUKEE crimping jaws,
dies, and connectors for which they are rated.
Jaws, dies, and connectors must be used in an
APPROVED COMBINATION to achieve a suc-
cessful operation.
Improper combinations can
result in a faulty crimp. Electric shock, fire, explosion,
and property damage could occur.
• Follow connector manufacturers' installation
instructions.
Other uses may cause damage to
the tool, accessories, and workpiece.
•
Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry
important 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 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 spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
