PERSONAL SAFETY

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WORK AREA SAFETY

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or

dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-

pheres, such as in the presence of ﬂ ammable

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.

• 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. Unmodiﬁ ed 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 electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions. Water entering a power tool will increase

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 ground fault circuit inter-

rupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI

reduces the risk of electric shock.

• 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

these are connected and properly used. Use of

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

WARNING

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

Failure

to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious

injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power

tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

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 pre-

ventive 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

hands of untrained users.

• 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

etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-

ing 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.

• 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 inﬂ uence of drugs, alcohol or medi-

cation. A moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Protective equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection used for appropriate conditions

will reduce personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before connecting

to power source and/or battery pack, picking

up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with

your ﬁ nger on the switch or energising power tools

that have the switch on invites accidents.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

• Recharge only with the charger speciﬁ ed by

the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for

one type of battery pack may create a risk of ﬁ re

when used with another battery pack.

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the

tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces, when performing an operation

where the cutting accessory may contact

hidden wiring. Cutting accessory 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.

• 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 ﬁ lter out microscopic particles.

• Use power tools only with speciﬁ cally desig-

nated battery packs. Use of any other battery

packs may create a risk of injury and ﬁ re.

• 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 terminals

together may cause burns or a ﬁ re.

Selecting Bits

When selecting a bit, use the right type for your job.

For best performance, always use sharp bits.

Drilling

1. Before drilling, be sure the workpiece is clamped

securely. Use backing material to prevent dam-

age to the workpiece during breakthrough.

2. When starting a hole, place the drill bit on the

work surface and apply ﬁ rm pressure. Begin

drilling at a slow speed, gradually increasing the

speed as you drill.

3. Always apply pressure in line with the bit. Use

enough pressure to keep the drill biting, but do

not push hard enough to stall the motor.

4. Reduce pressure and ease the bit through the

last part of the hole. While the tool is still running,

pull the bit out of the hole to prevent jamming.

Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials and

Plastic

When drilling in wood, composition materials and

plastic, start the drill slowly, gradually increasing

speed as you drill. When drilling into wood, use

wood augers or twist drill bits. Always use sharp

bits. When using twist drill bits, pull the bit out of the

hole frequently to clear chips from the bit ﬂ utes. To

reduce the chance of splintering, back work with a

piece of scrap wood. Select low speeds for plastics

with a low melting point.

pressure on the trigger.

To lock the trigger: Move the switch to the

center. " " will be displayed above the

switch. The trigger will not work while the

switch is in the locked position. Always lock

the trigger and remove the battery pack be-

fore performing maintenance and changing

accessories. Lock the trigger when storing

the tool and when the tool is not in use.

Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed

1. To start the tool, grasp the handle ﬁ rmly and pull

the trigger.

2. To vary the speed, increase or decrease the

pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger

is pulled, the greater the speed.

3. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Make sure

the tool comes to a complete stop before laying

the tool down.

Electric Brake

The electric brake engages when the trigger is

released, causing the bit to stop and allowing you

to proceed with your work. Generally, the bit stops

within two seconds. However, there may be a delay

between the time you release the trigger and when

the brake engages. Occasionally the brake may

miss completely. If the brake misses frequently, the

tool needs servicing by an authorized MILWAUKEE

service facility.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of

personal injury, always brace or hold the tool

securely. Brace tools with side handles as

shown. If the bit binds, the tool will be forced

in the opposite direction. Bits may bind if they

are misaligned or when breaking through a

hole. Wood boring bits can also bind if they

run into nails or knots.

Selecting Bits

When selecting a bit, use the right type for your job.

For best performance, always use sharp bits.

Drilling

1. Before drilling, be sure the workpiece is clamped

securely. Use backing material to prevent dam-

age to the workpiece during breakthrough.

2. When starting a hole, place the drill bit on the

work surface and apply ﬁ rm pressure. Begin

drilling at a slow speed, gradually increasing the

speed as you drill.

3. Always apply pressure in line with the bit. Use

enough pressure to keep the drill biting, but do

not push hard enough to stall the motor.

4. Reduce pressure and ease the bit through the

last part of the hole. While the tool is still running,

pull the bit out of the hole to prevent jamming.

Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials and

Plastic

When drilling in wood, composition materials and

plastic, start the drill slowly, gradually increasing

speed as you drill. When drilling into wood, use

wood augers or twist drill bits. Always use sharp

bits. When using twist drill bits, pull the bit out of the

hole frequently to clear chips from the bit ﬂ utes. To

reduce the chance of splintering, back work with a

piece of scrap wood. Select low speeds for plastics

with a low melting point.
