GENERAL SAFETY RULES — FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect
others in the work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Pro-
vide barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may cre-
ate a fire.
5. A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate
battery pack must be recharged only with the specified
charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type
of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
6. Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated
battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
7. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A mo-
ment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Con-
tain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
9. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or
off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with
the switch on invites accidents.
10. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool
may result in personal injury.
11. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unex-
pected situations.
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
2. Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts.
Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE Service facility for a free

replacement.
4. Wear ear protectors when using the tool for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
12. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used
for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
13. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
14. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it is designed.
15. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be re-
paired.
16. Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the
locked or off position before making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
17. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
18. 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 terminals together
may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
19. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
20. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's
operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. Do not use a
damaged tool. Tag damaged tools "Do not use" until repaired.
21. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manu-
facturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one
tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.
22. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair per-
sonnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel
may result in a risk of injury.
23. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.
Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instruc-
tions may create a risk of shock or injury.
