GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
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.
• 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
WORK AREA 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. 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 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 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 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 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
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
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.
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 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.
Any power tool that cannot be
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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Safety Warnings Common for Abrasive CuttingOff Operations:
• This power tool is intended to function as a cut-
of tool. 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 grinding, sanding, wire
brushing, or polishing 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 recommended 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, fl anges, 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. Before 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 acces-
sories will normally break apart during this test time.
• Wear personal protective equipment. Depend-
ing 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.
live wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool live and shock the operator.
• Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-
sory. 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 acces-
sory 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 posi-
tion 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 acces-
sory. 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 corners, 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 woodcarving blade
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.

Cutting accessory contacting a
Safety Warnings Specifi c for Abrasive Cutting-
Off Operations:
• Use only wheel types that are recommended
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 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 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.
Additional Safety Warnings Specifi c for Abra-
sive Cutting-Off Operations:
• Do not jam the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
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 spinning 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.
• 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 kickback. 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,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
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 specially designed to fi lter out microscopic particles.
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,
avoid inhalation of dust generated by grinding and cutting operations. Exposure to dust
may cause respiratory ailments. Use approved
NIOSH or OSHA respirators, safety glasses or
face shields, gloves and protective clothing.
Provide adequate ventilation to eliminate dust,
or to maintain dust level below the Threshold
Limit Value for nuisance dust as classifi ed
by OSHA.

GROUNDING
WARNING Improperly connecting the
grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualifi ed electrician
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.
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 satisfi es 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.
Fig. A
Fig. B
Fig. C
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 Cana-
da) 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.

WARNING The MIL WAUKEE Hand-Held
Abrasive Cut-Off Machine is designed to cut
metal and non-metallic materials. To reduce
the risk of injury, DO NOT cut wood. DO NOT
attempt to install a toothed blade on the tool.
DO NOT use with liquids or in damp locations.
Starting and Stopping the Tool
The tool operates at no load speed of 4600 RPM.
1. Plug in tool.
2. To start the tool, pull the trigger.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger.
Preventing Kickback
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched wheel
which could cause a cut-off machine that is not
under control to lift up and out of the workpiece
towards the user. Take the precautions below to
help prevent kickback.
1. Maintain a fi rm grip and correct body posi-
tion. Position arms and body to control the
backward and upward reaction force of kickback.
Control the cut-off machine at all times.
2. Set the depth of cut for no more than neces-
sary. The less wheel exposed, the less chance
of binding and kickback. Before cutting, be sure
shoe assembly is tight.
3. Always allow the wheel to come to a full stop
before removing the cut-off machine from the
workpiece. Never remove the cut-off machine
from a cut while the wheel is moving. If restarting or correcting direction in mid-cut, allow the
wheel to coast to a stop, back the cut-off machine
up a few inches and center it in the kerf before
restarting.
4. Stay alert. Any distraction can cause twisting
or binding. Repetitive cuts may lull the user into
careless movements.
5. Do not force the tool. Forcing a cut-off machine
reduces control and cutting effi ciency.
If kickback should occur, continue to grip the cut-off
machine fi rmly and immediately release trigger.
Wheel Selection
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,
only use Type "1" abrasive and diamond cutting wheels with at least 1/8" thickness which
is rated with a maximum safe operating speed
at least 5400 RPM. READ SAFETY INFORMATION SUPPLIED WITH CUT-OFF WHEEL.
Non-metallic Materials
When cutting non-metallic materials, use a silicone

NOTE: Always start the cut gently pushing the
saw through the workpiece. Do not bang or bump
a wheel when starting or during a cut. Always
push the saw away from you
8
3. While cutting, keep the shoe fl at against the
workpiece and maintain a fi rm grip. Do not force
the cut-off machine through the work. Forcing a
cut-off machine can cause kickback.
Make repeated passes at depths of less than
1/2" to achieve the desired depth. Cutting at a
depth of more than 1/2" will damage the wheel.
Frequently clean dust from air vents and guards.
4. When the cut is fi nished, always allow the motor
to come to a complete stop. Never remove the
cut-off machine from a cut while the wheel is
moving.
5. If making a partial cut, restarting a cut or correcting cut direction, allow the wheel to come to
a complete stop. To resume cutting, center the
wheel in the kerf (cutting slot), back the saw away
from cutting edge a few inches, pull the trigger
and re-enter the cut slowly.
NOTE: If the cut-off machine stalls, maintain a
fi rm grip and release the trigger immediately.
Correct the problem before continuing.
Overload Protector
To protect the motor from damage, the overload
protector automatically turns off the tool when the
motor is overloaded. The tool can become overloaded when cutting material that is too thick or cutting materials too quickly. To prevent the overload
protector from activating, always follow the cutting
instructions under the "Operation" section. Do not
attempt to defeat or override the overload protector.
If the tool turns off automatically:
1. Release the trigger and unplug the tool.
2. Remove the wheel from the workpiece.
3. Allow the tool to rest for a miniumum of two
minutes.
4. Reset the overload protector by pushing in the
button.
5. Allow the tool to run under no load to ensure the
tool has properly cooled.
6. Resume the cut. When restarting a saw in the
workpiece, center the saw wheel in the kerf, or
cut, and check that the wheel is not engaged into
the material. If saw wheel is binding, it may walk
up or KICKBACK from the workpiece as the saw
is restarted.

Under normal conditions, relubrication is not necessary until the motor brushes need to be replaced.
After six months to one year, depending on use,
return your tool to the nearest MILWAUKEE service
facility for the following:
• Lubrication
• Brush inspection and replacement
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears,
spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature,
etc.)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical
operation
WARNING T o reduce the risk of injury,
electric shock and damage to the tool, never
immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid
to fl ow inside the tool.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool
handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use
only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your tool
since certain cleaning agents and solvents are
harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some
of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use fl ammable or combustible
solvents around tools.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALES RELATIVES AUX
OUTILS ÉLECTRIQUES
AVERTISSEMENT LIRE TOUTES LES RÈGLES ET INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ.
Ne pas suivre l’ensemble des règles et instructions peut entraîner une électrocution, un
incendie ou des blessures graves. Conserver les règles et les instructions à des fi ns
de référence ultérieure. Le terme «outil électrique» fi gurant dans les avertissements ci-
dessous renvoie à l’outil électrique à alimentation par le réseau (à cordon) ou par batterie (sans fi l).
SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRA VAIL
• Maintenir la zone de travail propre et bien
éclairée. Les zones encombrées ou mal éclairées
sont favorables aux accidents.
• Ne pas utiliser d’outil électrique dans une atmosphère explosive, telle qu’en en présence de
liquides, de gaz ou de poussières infl ammables.
Les outils électriques génèrent des étincelles qui
peuvent enfl ammer les poussières ou les fumées.
• Tenir les enfants et les personnes non autorisées
à l’écart pendant le fonctionnement d’un outil
électrique. Un manque d’attention de l’opérateur
risque de lui faire perdre le contrôle de l’outil.
SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE
• La fi che de l’outil électrique doit correspondre
à la prise d’alimentation. Ne jamais modifi er la
fi che d’une manière quelconque. Ne pas utiliser
d’adaptateur avec les outils électriques mis à la
terre (à la masse). Des fi ches non modifi ées et des
prises d’alimentation assorties réduisent le risque
de choc électrique.
• Éviter tout contact corporel avec des surfaces
reliées à la masse ou à la terre telles que tuyaux, radiateurs, cuisinières et réfrigérateurs.
Un risque de choc électrique plus élevé existe si
le corps est relié à la masse ou à la terre.
• Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie
ou à l’humidité. Le risque de choc électrique aug-
mente si de l’eau s’infi ltre dans un outil électrique.
• Prendre soin du cordon. Ne jamais utiliser le
cordon pour transporter, tirer ou débrancher
l’outil électrique. Tenir le cordon à l’écart de la
chaleur, des huiles, des arêtes coupantes ou
des pièces en mouvement. Un cordon endom-
magé ou emmêlé présente un risque accru de
choc électrique.
• Se procurer un cordon d’alimentation approprié en cas d’utilisation d’un outil électrique à
l’extérieur. L’utilisation d’un cordon d’alimentation
pour usage extérieur réduit le risque de choc
électrique.
• S’il est nécessaire d’utiliser l’outil électrique
dans un endroit humide, installer un appareil
à courant résiduel (RCD). L’utilisation d’un RCD
réduit le risque de décharge électrique.
SÉCURITÉ INDIVIDUELLE
• Être sur ses gardes, être attentif et faire preuve
de bon sens en utilisant un outil électrique. Ne
pas utiliser un outil électrique en cas de fatigue
ou sous l’infl uence de drogues, d’alcool ou
de médicaments. Un instant d’inattention lors
de l’utilisation d’un outil électrique peut entraîner
des blessures graves.
• Porter l’équipement de protection requis.
Toujours porter une protection oculaire. Selon
les conditions, porter aussi un masque anti-pous-
sières, des bottes de sécurité antidérapantes, un
casque protecteur ou une protection auditive afi n
de réduire les blessures.
• Empêcher les démarrages accidentels.
S’assurer que la gâchette est en position
d’arrêt avant de brancher l’outil à une source
de courant, d’insérer la batterie, de le ramasser
ou de le transporter. Le fait de transporter
l’outil en gardant le doigt sur la gâchette ou de le
brancher lorsque la gâchette est en position de
marche favorise les accidents.
• Retirer toute clé de réglage avant de mettre
l’outil sous tension. Une clé laissée attachée sur
une pièce mobile de l’outil électrique peut entraîner
des blessures.
• Ne pas travailler à bout de bras. Bien garder
un bon équilibre à tout instant. Ceci permet de
mieux préserver la maîtrise de l’outil électrique
dans des situations imprévues.
• Porter des vêtements adéquats. Ne pas porter
de vêtements amples ni de bijoux. Ne pas approcher les cheveux, vêtements et gants des
pièces en mouvement. Les vêtements amples,
les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent d’être
happés par les pièces en mouvement.
• Si des dispositifs sont prévus pour l’extraction
et la récupération des poussières, vérifier
qu’ils sont connectés et utilisés correctement.
L’utilisation de ces dispositifs peut réduire les
risques liés aux poussières.
UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN
DE L’OUTIL ÉLECTRIQUE
• Ne pas forcer l’outil électrique. Utiliser l’outil
électrique approprié à l’application considérée.
L’outil électrique adapté au projet considéré
produira de meilleurs résultats, dans des conditions de sécurité meilleures, à la vitesse pour
laquelle il a été conçu.
• Ne pas utiliser l’outil électrique si le commutateur ne le met pas sous ou hors tension. Tout
outil électrique dont le commutateur de marchearrêt est inopérant est dangereux et doit être
réparé.
• Débrancher la fi che de la prise d’alimentation
et/ou la batterie de l’outil électrique avant
d’effectuer des réglages, de changer
d’accessoires ou de ranger l’outil. De telles
mesures de sécurité préventive réduisent le risque
de mettre l’outil en marche accidentellement.
• Ranger les outils électriques inutilisés hors
de la portée des enfants et ne pas laisser des
personnes qui connaissent mal les outils électriques ou ces instructions utiliser ces outils.
Les outils électriques sont dangereux dans les
mains d’utilisateurs non formés à leur usage.
• Entretien des outils électriques. S’assurer de
l’absence de tout désalignement ou de grip-
