Page: 22 / 40

Check safety belt for any damage and wear before every use. Do not use defective safety belts.
The insertion tool may become hot during use.
WARNING! Danger of burns:
• when changing tools
• when setting the device down
Do not remove cutter unless slug is removed. Slug may eject unexpectedly.
AUTO-STOP
AUTO-STOP switches the machine off automatically if there is a
too high, jerky operating torque on the magnet. Determine and
rectify the cause of the automatic stop by referring to the safety
information.
Possible causes can be:
• breakage of the material to be used
• excess load of the electric tool as a result of too high a feed rate
• unclean magnetic surface
Switch the machine off and then switch it back on again.
RESTART CUTOUT
If the product is still switched on will not restart after a power failure. To restart the product,
switched off and then on again.
MOTOR/MAGNET INTERLOCK
The motor/magnet interlock is a feature that prevents power from being applied to the drill motor
if the magnet is not energized. The motor magnet interlock also prevents the magnet from being
de-energized while the motor is running.
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 use.
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.
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).
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the charger (short circuit
risk).
Use only System C18 chargers for charging System C18 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.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations that cause high
current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 2 seconds and then the tool will turn OFF.
To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery could become too
high. If this happens, the battery will shut down. Place the battery on the charger to charge
and reset it.
