i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear perso-
nal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of
a broken accessory may fl y away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, 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.
k) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory
may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
l) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
m) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and exces-
sive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
n) Do not operate the power tool near fl ammable materi-
als. Sparks could ignite these materials.
o) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocu-
tion or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool
to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s
rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by
the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing
the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either
jump toward or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a fi rm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or torque reaction
during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions
or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power
tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the
tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the
point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges
etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Cor-
ners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the
rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Speci fi c for Polishing Operations:
a) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bon-
net or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away
or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangle your fi ngers or snag on the
workpiece.
Safety Warnings Speci fi 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.
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.
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 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 C 12 chargers for charging System C 12
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
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given
in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may signi fi cantly increase
the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signi fi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions . Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.

the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and
cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not speci fi cally
designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break
and fl y apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ade-
quately guarded or controlled.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the
GRINDER spindle thread. For accessories mounted by
FLANGES, the arbour hole of the accessory must fi t the
locating diameter of the FLANGE. Accessories that do
not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run
out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels
for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If
power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage
or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting
and installing an accessory, position yourself and by-
standers away from the plane of the rotating accessory
and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for
one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break
apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protec-
tion must be capable of stopping fl ying debris generated
by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be
capable of fi ltrating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
