GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WORK AREA SAFETY
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres,suchasin thepresence offlammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodifiedplugs and matchingoutlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Waterenteringapower tool willincrease
the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unpluggingthe power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD)protected supply. UseofanRCDreduces
the risk of electric shock.
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protectiveequipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearingprotection usedforappropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
withyour finger ontheswitch orenergisingpower
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction andcollection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• 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.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off.Anypower toolthat cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Powertools are dangerousin the
hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
powertool repaired before use. Manyaccidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Useof the power
tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USEAND CARE
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using onlyidentical replacement
parts. Thiswill ensure thatthe safetyof the power
tool is maintained.
• Recharge only with the charger 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.
• Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be eject-
ed from the battery, avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tion or burns.

• Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Expo-
sure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
• WARNING: Some dustcreatedbypowersanding,
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
• crystallinesilica frombricks andcementandother
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Yourriskfromthese exposuresvaries,dependingon
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well venti-
lated area, and work with approved safety equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Keep hands away from all cutting edges and
moving parts.
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
