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 fire.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact ac
-
cidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts 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 the specified
range may damage the battery and increase the risk
of fire.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs.
Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
MAGNETIC DRILLS
•
Always use safety chain.
Mounting can release.
•
DANGER
To reduce the risk of injury, always
keep hands, gloves, rags, clothing,
etc. away from moving parts and chips. Do not try to
remove chips while the cutter is rotating. Chips are
sharp and can pull objects into moving parts.
•
Clean the surface before attaching the drill stand
to the work surface.
Paint, rust, scale, or uneven
surfaces decrease the holding strength of the mag-
net. Chips, burrs, dirt and other foreign matter on the
surface of the magnet base will also decrease holding
power.
•
Do not attach magnetic base to nonmagnetic
grades of stainless steel.
The magnet base WILL
NOT
hold. The permanent magnetic drill attaches
magnetically to 1/4" or thicker ferrous stock. Do not
use on stock less than 1/4".
•
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
•
Safety Strap
•
Do not use near acids or bleaching agents.
•
Do not use for overhead lifting.
•
Do not use strap if webbing is cut.
•
Webbing must be protected from sharp edges.
•
All hardware must be in line with direction of
pull for rated capacity.
• 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.

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
filter out microscopic particles.
