tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam
-
aged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or tem
-
perature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
CRIMPER
• Use tool only as directed. Only trained personnel
should operate tool.
•
WARNING
To reduce the risk of explosion,
electric shock and property
damage, do not use on live electrical lines.
T
ool is NOT insulated. Contact with a live
circuit could result in severe injury or death.
Turn off power before making a crimp.
• Use tool only with MILWAUKEE crimping jaw
49-16-U000, "U" dies, and connectors for which
they are rated. Jaws, dies, and connectors must
be used in an
APPROVED COMBINATION to
achieve a successful operation.
Improper combina-
tions can result in a faulty crimp. Electric shock, fire,
explosion, and property damage could occur.
• Do not use tool without crimping jaws installed.
Fingers could be crushed.
• Keep hands away from crimping jaws while tool
is in use.
Fingers could be crushed.
•To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles
or glasses with side shields when operating or
servicing the tool.
• Inspect and discard workpieces with cracks or
wear before use. Materials may crack or shatter.
• Follow connector manufacturers' installation
instructions.
Other uses may cause damage to the
tool, accessories, and workpiece.
•
Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry im-
portant information. If unreadable or missing, contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
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 lum-
ber.
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 ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
