POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
16. Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
17. Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
18. Disconnect the plu from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
makin any adjustments, chan -
in accessories, or storin
power tools. Such pre enti e safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
19. Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tools or these instructions
to operate power tools. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
20. Maintain power tools. Check for
misali nment or bindin of mov-
in parts, breaka e of parts and
any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool's operation. If
dama ed, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
21. Keep cuttin tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
SERVICE
28. Have your power tool serviced by
a qualified repair person usin
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

WARNING!
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnin s listed
below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY RULES-FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS
1. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas in ite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liq-
uids, ases, or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders
away while operatin a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
4. Power tool plu s must match the
outlet. Never modify the plu in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plu s with earthed ( rounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
5. Avoid body contact with earthed
or rounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ran es and re-
fri erators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carryin , pullin , or
unplu in the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
ed es, or movin parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
9. Stay alert, watch what you are
doin and use common sense
when operatin a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence
of dru s, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
10. Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Safety equip-
ment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
11. Avoid accidental startin . Ensure
the switch is in the off-position
before plu in in. Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or plug-
ging in power tools that ha e the
switch on in ites accidents.
12. Remove any adjustin key or
wrench before turnin the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footin and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
8. When operatin a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothin or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothin and loves away
from movin parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery, or long hair can be caught in
mo ing parts.
15. If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of these de ices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
22. Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc., in accordance
with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particu-
lar type of power tool, takin into
account the workin conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could re-
sult in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
23. Ensure the switch is in the off
position before insertin battery
pack. Inserting the battery pack into
power tools that ha e the switch on
in ites accidents.
24. Rechar e only with the char er
specified by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
25. Use power tools only with spe-
cifically desi nated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
26. When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal
objects like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make
a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery ter-
minals together may cause burns or a
fire.
27. Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery,
avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.

BATTERY PACK CARE AND USE
EXTENDING AND MAINTAINING
BATTERY PACK LIFE
Char e the new battery pack
overni ht before use to allow
the cells to become fully
char ed. New battery packs are not fully
charged. Two to ten normal charging/
discharging cycles may be required be-
fore the pack can take its maximum charge.
Never completely dischar e
the battery pack. MILWAUKEE
battery packs do not de elop a
"memory" when charged after only a par-
tial discharge. Taping-on triggers or lea -
ing work lights on for extended periods
to completely discharge the battery pack
will reduce its life by upsetting the electro-
chemical balance and can result in short-
circuiting of the battery.
Do not char e batteries in hot
or cold places (below 40°F (5°C)
or abo e 105°F (40°C)). Temperature
extremes reduce the ability for battery pack
cells to hold a charge. Do not store batter-
ies where the temperature may exceed
120°F (50°C), such as in a ehicle or metal
building during the summer.
To avoid overheatin to a battery pack,
allow cordless tools cool down be-
tween hi h torque drillin /cuttin
applications. The increased energy dis-
charge rate will heat the battery pack cells
faster than the cells can release the heat.
This could damage the cells.
After use, allow a hot battery pack to
cool to room temperature before inserting
it into the charger. If a hot battery is put on
a charger, charging will not begin until the
battery has cooled to a safe temperature.
See your charger manual for more infor-
mation on charging temperatures. Charg-
ing a hot battery will damage the cells.
Never forcibly heat up or cool down
batteries. This will damage some cells in
the pack, causing them to not be able to hold
a charge.
Remove the battery pack from the tool
for char in when the tool can no
lon er perform its intended function
(i.e., drilling, cutting, etc.).
Leave the battery pack on the
char er after it has reached a full
char e; the pack will continue to re-
cei e a trickle charge to ensure capacity
is maintained.
Occasionally (once a week) leave the
batteries on the char er overni ht to
help maintain cell balance.
Do not store the battery on the
char er (for more than 24 hours); this
could reduce battery life.
Never leave batteries on char ers
where power interruptions are com-
mon. Damage to the battery cells could
occur.
Store batteries at room tem-
perature away from moisture.
Do not store in damp locations
where corrosion of terminals may occur.
Do not submer e your battery or cord-
less tools in water. This will damage the
battery and tool.
Char e unused batteries overni ht
at least every six months to maximize
battery life. Unused batteries discharge
at a rate of about 1% per day and will be
fully discharged after six months. For bat-
teries stored for a long time, two to ten
normal charging cycles may be required
before the pack is fully charged.
Do not use oil or solvents to clean or
lubricate your battery pack. The plastic
casing will become brittle and crack, caus-
ing a risk of injury.
MILWAUKEE battery packs will operate for many years and/or hundreds of cycles when
they are used, charged, and stored according to these instructions. Properly using,
charging, and storing your battery pack can greatly extend its life.
