WARNING
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.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
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 prop-
erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.

your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or
allow a liquid to flow inside them.
Cleaning

ing agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline,
turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALES
RELATIVES AUX OUTILS ÉLECTRIQUES
Lire toutes les consignes
AVERTISSEMENT
de sécurité, consignes,
illustrations et spécifications fournies avec cet
outil électrique. Ne pas suivre l'ensemble des règles
et instructions peut entraîner une électrocution, un
incendie ou des blessures graves. Conserver les
règles et les instructions à des fins de référence
ultérieure. Le terme «outil électrique» figurant dans
les avertissements ci-dessous renvoie à l'outil élec-
trique à alimentation par le réseau (à cordon) ou par
batterie (sans fil).
SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL
• Veillez à ce que l'aire de travail soit propre et
bien éclairée. Le désordre et le manque de lumière
favorisent les accidents.
• Ne pas utiliser d'outils électriques dans des at-
mosphères explosives, par exemple en présence
de liquides, gaz ou poussières inflammables. Les
outils électriques produisent des étincelles risquant
d'enflammer les poussières ou vapeurs.
• S'assurer que les enfants et les curieux se trou-
vent à une bonne distance au moment d'utiliser
un outil électrique. Les distractions peuvent causer
une perte de contrôle.
SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE
• Les fiches des outils électriques doivent cor-
respondre à la prise secteur utilisée. Ne jamais
modifier la fiche, de quelque façon que ce soit.
Ne jamais utiliser d'adaptateurs de fiche avec
des outils mis à la terre. Les fiches et prises non
modifiées réduisent le risque de choc électrique.
• Éviter tout contact avec des surfaces mises à
la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs, des
cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de
choc électrique est accru lorsque le corps est mis
à la terre.
• Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à l'eau ou
l'humidité. La pénétration d'eau dans ces outils
accroît le risque de choc électrique.
• Ne pas maltraiter le cordon d'alimentation.
Ne jamais utiliser le cordon d'alimentation
pour transporter l'outil électrique et ne jamais
débrancher ce dernier en tirant sur le cordon.
Garder le cordon à l'écart de la chaleur, de
l'huile, des objets tranchants et des pièces en
mouvement. Un cordon endommagé ou emmêlé
accroît le risque de choc électrique.
• Pour les travaux à l'extérieur, utiliser un cordon
spécialement conçu à cet effet. Utiliser un cordon
conçu pour l'usage extérieur réduit les risques de
choc électrique.
• Si l'utilisation d'un outil électrique est inévitable
dans un endroit humide, utiliser une source
d'alimentation munie d'un disjoncteur de fuite
de terre. L'utilisation d'un disjoncteur de fuite de
terre réduit le risque de choc électrique.
SÉCURITÉ INDIVIDUELLE
• Rester attentif, prêter attention au travail et faire
preuve de bon sens lors de l'utilisation de tout
outil électrique. Ne pas utiliser cet appareil en
cas de fatigue ou sous l'influence de l'alcool,
de drogues ou de médicaments. Un moment
d'inattention pendant l'utilisation d'un outil électrique
peut entraîner des blessures graves.
