Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:

•Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed can not be adequately guarded and are unsafe.

•The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed to- wards the operator. The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and ac- cidental contact with wheel.

•Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

•Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.

•Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abra- sive Cutting-Off Operations:

•Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply ex- cessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

•Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spin- ning wheel and the power tool directly at you.

•When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.

SafetyWarningsSpecificforSandingOperations:

•Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommenda- tions, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:

•Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. Do not over stress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

•If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to workload and centrifugal forces.

Additional Safety Warnings

•Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

•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.

			GROUNDING

•Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.

•Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kick- back. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.

•Use extra caution when making a "pocketcut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, elec- trical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

WARNING Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electri- cian if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a MILWAUKEE service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by

a qualified electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs Tools marked "Grounding Required" have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded

outlet (See Figure A). If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.

The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool's grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically "live" terminal.

Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in ac- cordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in FigureA. Fig. A
