Service, Specific Safety Rules, Specifications

•Use power tools only with speciﬁcally desig- nated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and ﬁre.

•When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects 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 burns or a ﬁre.

•Under abusive conditions, liquid may be eject- ed from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ﬂush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

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 surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

•Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

•To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and property damage, always check the work area for hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or wa- ter pipes when making blind or plunge cuts.

•Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts. Do not reach underneath the workpiece.

•Do not use dull or damaged blade, which can cause excessive friction, blade binding and kick- back.

•Know your workpiece. Remove nail and screw heads before scraping. Hitting hard objects with blade may cause the tool to kick back.

•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.

OPERATION

WARNING Always remove battery pack before changing or removing ac- cessories. Only use accessories speciﬁcally recommended for this tool. Others may be

hazardous.

Typical Applications

A large variety of accessories are available for applications such as sawing/cutting, scraping, and sanding.

Sawing/Cutting

Install a sawing/cutting blade at an angle easy to use. Properly clamp the workpiece. Set the speed dial to a high speed. Start the tool and allow it to reach full speed. Use moderate pressure to avoid burning or scorching the workpiece.

Scraping

Install a scraping blade at an angle easy to use. Start the tool and allow it to reach full speed. Use light pressure and a low angle to avoid gouging and damaging the workpiece.

Sanding

Install a sanding backing pad at an angle easy to use. Attach a sanding disc, or cut sandpaper to ﬁt the backing pad. Generally, use 24 or 36 grit for heavy stock removal; 50, 60, or 80 grit for medium stock removal and 120 grit for ﬁnishing. Always begin with a coarse grit, using successively ﬁner grits to obtain the desired ﬁnish.

Properly clamp the workpiece. Start the tool and allow it to reach full speed. Use light pressure and long, sweeping, side to side strokes, advancing forward to produce the desired ﬁnish.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, keep hands away from the blade and all moving parts. Always wear safety goggles or

glasses with side shields.

WARNING To reduce the risk of explo- sion, electric shock and property dam- age, always check the work area for hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or water pipes

when making blind or plunge cuts.

Fuel Gauge

To determine the amount of charge left in the bat- tery, turn the tool ON. The Fuel Gauge will light up for 2-3 seconds. When less than 10% of charge is left, 1 light on the fuel gauge will ﬂash slowly.

To signal the end of charge, 1 light on the fuel gauge will ﬂash quickly for 2-3 seconds and the tool will not run. Charge the battery pack.

If the tool or battery becomes too hot, the fuel gauge lights will ﬂash in an alternating pattern and the tool will not run. Allow the tool and battery to cool down.

To protect against high torque, binding, stalling, and short circuit situations, the tool will shut down and all the fuel gauge lights will ﬂash. Release the trigger and restart.
