WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Hammer safety warnings
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Additional Safety and Working Instructions
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.
The dust produced when using this tool may be
harmful to health. Do not inhale the dust. Use a dust
absorption system and wear a suitable dust protection
mask. Remove deposited dust thoroughly, e.g. with a
vacuum cleaner.
Do not machine any materials that present a danger to
health (e.g. asbestos).
When working in walls ceiling, or floor, take care to
avoid electric cables and gas or waterpipes.
Switch the device off immediately if the insertion tool
stalls! Do not switch the device on again while the
insertion tool is stalled, as doing so could trigger a
sudden recoil with a high reactive force.
Determine why the insertion tool stalled and rectify
this, paying heed to the safety instructions.
Possible causes can be:
• it is tilted in the workpiece to be machined
• breakage of the material to be used
• the power tool is overloaded
Do not reach into the machine while it is running.
The insertion tool may become hot during use.
WARNING! Danger of burns
• when changing tools
• when setting the device down
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The pneumatic hammer can be universally used for
hammer drilling and chiselling in stone and concrete.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for
normal use.
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
refuseorbyburningthem.MilwaukeeDistributorsoffer
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).
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short
circuit situations that cause high current draw, the tool
will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge will
flash,and then the tool will turn OFF.
To reset, release the trigger. Under extreme
circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery
pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel
gauge will flash until the battery pack cooled down.
After the lights go off, the work may continue.
Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.
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
