GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment |
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts |
and any other condition that may affect the |
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the |
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents |
are caused by poorly maintained power tools. |
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly |
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges |
are less likely to bind and are easier to control. |
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits |
• WARNING: Some dust created by power sand- |
ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construc- |
tion activities contains chemicals known to cause |
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. |
Some examples of these chemicals are: |
• lead from |
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other |
masonry products, and |
• arsenic and chromium from |
WORK AREA SAFETY
•Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo- spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never |
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any |
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power |
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will |
reduce risk of electric shock. |
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded |
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and |
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec- |
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. |
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con- |
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase |
• Use personal protective equipment. Always |
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such |
as dust mask, |
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions |
will reduce personal injuries. |
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the |
switch is in the |
to power source and/or battery pack, picking |
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools |
with your finger on the switch or energising power |
tools that have the switch on invites accidents. |
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before |
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key |
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool |
may result in personal injury. |
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and |
balance at all times. This enables better control |
of the power tool in unexpected situations. |
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or |
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves |
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel- |
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. |
• If devices are provided for the connection of |
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure |
etc., in accordance with these instructions, |
taking into account the working conditions |
and the work to be performed. Use of the power |
tool for operations different from those intended |
could result in a hazardous situation. |
SERVICE
•Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
•Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfac- es, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessories contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
•Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
lumber. |
Your risk from these exposures varies, depend- |
ing 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. |

the risk of electric shock. |
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for |
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. |
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges |
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords |
increase the risk of electric shock. |
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use |
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. |
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces |
the risk of electric shock. |
• If operating a power tool in a damp location |
is unavoidable, use a residual current device |
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces |
the risk of electric shock. |
PERSONAL SAFETY
•Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi- cation. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
•Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
•Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil- dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
