Kickback causes and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the wheel's rotation at the point of the binding. For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entered into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on the direction of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of machine misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
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 filter out microscopic particles.

Connecting to a Hose
A water connection is available on the tool to cool the wheel and reduce the formation of dust. The water connection should be used on all concrete cutting applications.
To connect the water, attach the end of a hose to the tool using the quick connect fitting.
To use the water, open the water supply valve by turning it in line with the water supply tube. Turn on the water supply and allow the water to run. NOTE: For best results, allow the water to coat the entire cutting wheel before operation.
Making a Cut
Electric Brake
The brake engages when the trigger is released, causing the wheel to stop and allowing you to proceed with your work. Generally, the wheel stops within three seconds, depending on the size of the wheel. If the braking time significantly increases, or begins missing completely, the tool needs servicing by an authorized MILWAUKEE service facility. The brake is not a substitute for the guard, and you must always wait for the wheel to stop completely before laying down the tool.
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger or tool before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.

Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise, misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six months to one year, depending on use, return the tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE service facility for inspection.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on the battery pack. If the tool still does not work properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
