BATTERIES

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, the battery packs have to be fully

charged, after used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery

pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:

Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C

and away from moisture

Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition

Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.

BATTERY PACK PROTECTION

The battery pack has overload protection that protects it

from being overloaded and helps to ensure long life.

Under extreme stress the battery electronics switch oﬀ the

machine automatically. To restart, switch the machine oﬀ

and then on again. If the machine does not start up again,

the battery pack may have discharged completely. In this

case it must be recharged in the battery charger.

Safety Warnings Speciﬁ c 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 Speciﬁ c 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.

Additional Safety and Working Instructions

When grinding metal, ﬂ ying sparks are produced. Take care

that no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of

ﬁ re, no combustible materials should be located in the

vicinity (spark ﬂ ight zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Avoid ﬂ ying sparks and sanding dust hit your body.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is

running.
Immediately switch oﬀ the machine in case of considerable

vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine

in order to ﬁ nd out the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with

the arbour and vulcanized ﬁ bre grinding disk), signiﬁ cant

contamination can build up on the inside of the angle grinder

(metal residue/deposits). For safety reasons, in such

conditions a ground fault interrupter must be connected in

series. If the ground fault interrupter trips the machine must

be sent for service.
Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the

machine is running.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household

refuse or by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors oﬀ er to

retrieve old batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects

(short circuit risk).
Use only System C 18 chargers for charging System C 18

battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store

only in dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.
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.

Warning!

To reduce the risk of ﬁ re, personal injury, and

product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your

tool, battery pack or charger in ﬂ uid or allow a ﬂ uid to ﬂ ow

inside them. Corrosive or conductive ﬂ uids, such as

seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach

containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
