Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of
cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the
rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation,
is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may
propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the
power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off
wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the
cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large
workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and
near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel
may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when
selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending
beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and
may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations:
a) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing
bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck
away or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and
spinning attachment strings can entangle your fingers or
snag on the workpiece.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the
wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire
wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may
expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.
Always wear goggles when using the machine. It is
recommended to wear gloves, sturdy non slipping shoes
and apron.
After switching off, the machine will not be idle immediately.
(After-running of the work spindle.) Allow the machine to
come to a stop before putting down.
Never reach into the danger area of the plane when it is
running.
Only use tools whose permitted speed is at least as high as
the highest no-load speed of the machine.
Check grinding tools before use. The grinding tool must be
properly mounted and turn freely. Perform a test run for at
least 30 seconds without load. Do not use damaged, out of
round or vibrating grinding tools.
When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care
that no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of
fire, no combustible materials should be located in the
vicinity (spark flight zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Due care should be taken that no sparks or sanding dust
flying from the workpiece come into contact with you.
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work
with the machine.
Always use and store the grinding disks according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be
steady. Never lead the workpiece to the grinding disk with
your hand.
Secure work. Use clamps or a vice to hold work. It’s safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under
extreme load or extreme temperatures. In case of contact
with battery acid wash it off immediately with soap and
water. In case of eye contact rinse thoroughly for at least 10
minutes and immediately seek medical attention.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household
refuse or by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors offer to
retrieve old batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects
(short circuit risk).
Use only System Milwaukee C12 chargers for charging
System Milwaukee C12 battery packs. Do not use battery
packs from other systems.
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section
of the charger (short circuit risk).
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store
only in dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the
machine.
Make sure that the grinding tool is installed in accordance
with the manufacturer‘s instructions.
The size of the grinding tool must be suitable for the grinder.
For dusty operations, the machine‘s ventilation slits must be
kept clear. If necessary, switch off the power to the machine
and remove the dust. Use a non-metallic object for this,
taking care not to damage any of the inner parts.

BATTERIES
New battery packs reach full loading capacity after 4 - 5
chargings and dischargings. Battery packs which have not
been used for some time should be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the
performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure
to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept
clean.
For an optimum life-time, after use, the battery packs have
to be fully charged.
MAINTENANCE
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all
times.
Do not let any metal parts reach the airing slots - danger of
short circuit!
