Do not drill the housing, as the protective insulation
would be rendered ineffective. Use adhesive labels.
Plane only with sharp blades and avoid metal (nails,
screws).
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on
the product.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Never reach into the danger area of the product when
it is running.
Place the front page of the product on to the workpiece
and switch on before the planer blade touches the
workpiece and then guide evenly over the workpiece.
The v-shape notch in the front of the supporting plate
ensures safe chamfering of edges.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The product can plane surfaces and rabetts, and also
bevel and chamfer edges.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for
normal use.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise in use and
the operator should pay special attention to avoid the
following:
●Impairment of hearing—restrict exposure and
wear appropriate hearing protection.
●Injury caused by vibration—take measures to
possibly reduce the effects of vibration and limit
the amount of exposure.
●Health hazards caused by breathing dust
developed when sawing wood—wear a mask if
necessary.
BATTERY PACKS
Use only M18 System chargers for charging M18
System battery packs. Do not use battery packs from
other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and
store them only in dry rooms. Keep battery packs and
chargers dry at all times.
Battery packs that 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).
For an optimum lifetime, the battery packs have to be
fully charged after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, remove the
battery pack from the charger after 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).
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.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal
injury, and product damage due to a short circuit,
never immerse your product, battery pack, or charger
in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or
conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial
chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products,
etc., can cause a short circuit.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS
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
and insulated to prevent short circuit.
●Ensure that battery pack is secured against
movement within packaging.
●Do not transport battery packs that are cracked or
leaking.
Check with the forwarding company for further advice.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery
section of the charger (short circuit risk).
High current draw due to extremely high torque causes
binding, stalling, and short circuit situations that make
the product stop for about 2 seconds and then turn
off. Reset the product by removing and replacing the
battery pack.
The internal temperature of the battery pack rises
under extreme conditions. The fuel guage then flashes
until the battery pack cools down. Proceed working
only after the lights go off.
