GENERAL SAFETY RULES-FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases, or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control. Protect others in
the work area from debris such as
chips and sparks. Provide 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 create a fire.
5. A battery operated tool with inte-
gral 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 bat-
tery pack. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire.
WARNING!
PERSONAL SAFETY
7. Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
tool while tired or under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol, or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain 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 po-
sition 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
wrenches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left at-
tached 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 bet-
ter control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
12. Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Dust mask,
nonskid 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 work-
piece 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 cor-
rect 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 dan-
gerous and must be repaired.
16. Disconnect battery pack from tool
or place the switch in the locked
or off position before making any
adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing the tool. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
17. Store idle tools out of reach of
children and other untrained per-
sons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
18. When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal ob-
jects 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 termi-
nals together may cause sparks,
burns, or a fire.

1. Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable
or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
2. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
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 spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
19. Maintain tools with care. Keep cut-
ting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained tools with sharp cut-
ting edge are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
20. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage 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 rec-
ommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool may cre-
ate a risk of injury when used on an-
other tool.
SERVICE
22. Tool service must be performed
only by qualified repair person-
nel. Service or maintenance per-
formed by unqualified personnel may
result in a risk of injury.
23. When servicing a tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Fol-
low instructions in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual. Use
of unauthorized parts or failure to fol-
low Maintenance Instructions may cre-
ate a risk of shock or injury.
