CABLE CUTTER SAFETY WARNINGS
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses
when working with the machine. The use of protective
clothing is recommended, such as dust mask,
protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear, helmet
and ear defenders.
Keep hands and loose items of clothing away from
cutting tools and other moving parts.
Do not hold the press jaws with your hand during the
cutting process.
Check the cutting tool for cracks or any other signs of
wear before using.
Only use cutting tools and cutting devices if they are in
perfect technical condition.
Have damage repaired immediately by an authorised
workshop.
Only operate the device with the cutting tool inserted
into it.
In the event of problems during the cutting process,
immediately release the ON switch and press the
unlocking button on the hydraulic system. The valve
will open and the piston will return to its initial position.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on
the appliance.
Do not cut short lengths of cable where fingers may
come into proximity with the cutting blade. The blade
is sharp!
To reduce the risk of explosions, electric shock and
damage to properties, never cut gas lines, electrical
cables or filled water pipelines.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The cable cutter is suitable for cutting cables made
of copper, aluminium or ACRS with the appropriate
blades.
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 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 M18 chargers for charging System
M18 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.
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery
section of the charger (short circuit risk).
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the dangerous
goods legislation requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in
accordance with local, national and international
provisions and regulations.
The user can transport the batteries by road without
further requirements.
Commercial transport of lithium-Ion batteries by third
parties is subject to dangerous goods regulations.
Transport preparation and transport are exclusively
to be carried out by appropriately trained persons and
the process has to be accompanied by corresponding
experts.
When transporting batteries:
• Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected
