GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, re, 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.
WORK SAFETY AREA
• Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of ammable 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.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• 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. Unmodied plugs
and matching outlets will reduce the 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 electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging
the 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 ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• 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 under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energizing power 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.
2
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
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. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. 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 power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents 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. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another
battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. The use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and re.
• When the 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 terminals
together may cause burns or a re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
3
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modied. Damaged or modied
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion, or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or excessive temperature. Exposure
to re or temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause an explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside the specied range may damage the battery and increase
the risk of re.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. The service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR PIPELINE INSPECTION SYSTEMS
• Always check the work area before beginning a job. Do not allow the tool to
contact electrical, chemical, or moving hazards.
• To reduce the risk of re, personal injury, and product damage due to a short
circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a
uid to ow inside them. Corrosive or conductive uids, such as seawater, certain
industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short
circuit.
• Recharge battery packs only with the charger specied for the battery. For specic
charging instructions, read the operator's manual supplied with your charger and
battery.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when using tools. It is not possible
to anticipate every situation that could result in a dangerous outcome. Do not use
this tool if you do not understand these operating instructions, or you feel the work is
beyond your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained professional for additional
information or training.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or
missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
• 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 lumber.
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 lter out microscopic particles.
