WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given
in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may signifi cantly increase
the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions, including those given in the accompanying
brochure. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
Always wear goggles when using the machine. It is
recommended to wear gloves, sturdy non slipping shoes
and apron.
Keep hands and loose clothes away from all cutting edges
and moving parts.
To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and property
damage, never cut gas lines, electrical lines, or full water
lines. Shut off water and drain lines before making a cut.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the
machine.
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).
Use only System C12 chargers for charging System C12
battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
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.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The pipe cutter is designed for cutting plastic pipes (PEX).
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for
normal use.

BATTERIES
New battery packs reach full loading capacity after 4 - 5
chargings and dischargings. 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, after use, the battery packs have
to be fully charged.
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 fl ash,and then the
tool will turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperatur of the
battery could become to high. If this happens, the fuel
gauge will fl ash and the battery pack cool and then continue
work.
WORKING TIPS
Pipe can crack or shatter at any time. Always use caution
and begin the cut slowly.
Pipe becomes more brittle in lower temperatures, increasing
the risk of cracking or shattering. Cutting pipe with this tool
is not recommended below 10°C.
Short or thin-wall pieces of pipe may shatter or collapse
when cut. If you cannot hold the workpiece safely, it is too
short to be cut.
Cut slowly and further in from the end of the pipe to avoid
crooked cuts.
A single "click" when starting a cut is normal - the blade is
engaging the closing mechanism.
Do not attempt angled cuts. It will damage the blade. Hold
the pipe squarely in the jaws.
Cut clean material to extend the blade life. Wipe dirt and
debris from pipe before beginning the cut.
