POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
16.
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
tion.
The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
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 preven-
tive 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.
SERVICE
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.
23.
Ensure the switch is in the off posi-
tion before inserting battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
24.
Recharge only with the charger speci-
fi 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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
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
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 oc-
curs, fl ush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help.
Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
1.
Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact a
MILWAUKEE
service facility for a free
replacement.
2.
Hold tools by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Con-
tact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.

WARNING:
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-
ing, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive 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 ven-
tilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to
fi lter out microscopic particles.
