GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

WARNING

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND 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 all of the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, 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.

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 electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 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 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 inﬂ u- ence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

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 plugging in 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 bet-

ter 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, jewellery 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 these devices

can reduce dust-related hazards.

• 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 children 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 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, 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 qualiﬁ ed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that

the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding Operations:

• This power tool is intended to function

as a grinder. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and speciﬁ - cations provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious injury.

• Operations such as sanding, wire

brushing, polishing or cutting-off are not recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the

power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.

• Do not use accessories which are

not speciﬁ cally designed and recom- mended by the tool manufacturer. Just

because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.

• The rated speed of the accessory must

be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories

running faster than their rated speed can break and ﬂ y apart.

• The outside diameter and the thickness

of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool.

Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.

• The arbour size of wheels, flanges,

backing pads or any other accessory must properly ﬁ t the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbour holes

that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

• Do not use a damaged accessory. Be-

fore each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute.

Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.

• Wear personal protective equip-

ment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and work shop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping ﬂ ying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or

respirator must be capable of ﬁ ltrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

• Keep bystanders a safe distance away

from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece

or of a broken accessory may ﬂ y away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, 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 shock the operator.

• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.

• Never lay the power tool down until

the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab

the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.

• Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.

• Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.

• Do not operate the power tool near ﬂ ammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched

or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is

snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse

and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

• Maintain a ﬁ rm grip on the power tool

and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The

operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kick back over your hand.

• Do not position your body in the area

where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in

direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.

• Use special care when working cor-

ners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners,

sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

• Do not attach a saw chain woodcarv- ing blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.

Safety Warnings Speciﬁ c for Operations:

• Use only wheel types that are rec-

ommended for your power tool and the speciﬁ c 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 towards the operator.

The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.

• Wheels must be used only for recom-

mended 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 ﬂ anges

that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel

ﬂ anges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel ﬂ anges.

• 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.

Grinding

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. T o 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 ﬁ lter out microscopic particles.

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualiﬁ ed 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 ﬁ t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁ ed 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.

Fig. A

WARNING

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 accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in Figure A.

Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association and the National Electrical Code. Double Insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in Figures B and C.

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the required minimum wire size.

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.

Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the sufﬁ x “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualiﬁ ed person before using it.

• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
