WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal in- jury, always 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 main- tenance program. After six months to one year, depending on use, return the tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE service facility for:
•Lubrication
•Brush inspection and replacement
Cleaning
Clean out dust and debris from vents and electrical contacts by blowing with com- pressed air. Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool, battery pack and charger, keeping away from all electri- cal contacts. Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include gaso- line, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible sol- vents around tools.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger to the nearest authorized service center.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, check work area for hidden pipes and wires before making pocket cuts.
Pocket Cutting
Pocket cuts are made in the middle of the workpiece when it can not be cut from an edge. We recommend using a Sawzall® reciprocating saw or jig saw for this type of cut. However, if you must use a circular saw to make a pocket cut, USE EXTREME CAUTION. To maintain control of the saw during pocket cutting, keep both hands on the saw (Fig. 15).
