GENERAL SAFETY RULES-FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

BA TTER Y T OOL USE AND CARE

WARNING!

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA SAFETY

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

2. Do not operate power tools in ex-

plosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ﬂ ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

7. 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.

8. When operating a power tool out-

doors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable

for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

9. Stay alert, watch what you are do-

ing 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 medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

10. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying tools with your ﬁ nger on

the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

12. 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.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper foot- ing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

14. 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.

15. If devices are provided for the connec-

tion of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these de-

vices can reduce dust-related hazards.

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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 preven-

tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

19. Store idle power tools out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tools or these instructions to operate power tools. Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

20. 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.

21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

22. Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, 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.

23. Ensure the switch is in the off posi-

tion before inserting battery pack.

Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

24. Recharge only with the charger speci- ﬁ 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.

25. Use power tools only with speciﬁ cally designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and ﬁ re.

26. 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.

27. Under abusive conditions, liquid may

be ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ﬂ ush with water. If liquid con- tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery

may cause irritation or burns.

SERVICE

28. 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

1. Keep hands out of the plunger and plunger rod area of the caulk gun.

Fingers can be pinched between the tube holder and the plunger.

2. Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

BATTERY PACK CARE AND USE

EXTENDING AND MAINTAINING BATTERY PACK LIFE

MILWAUKEE battery packs will operate for many years and/or hundreds of cycles when they are used, charged, and stored according to these instructions. Properly using, charging, and storing your battery pack can greatly extend its life.

Charge the new battery pack overnight before use to allow the cells to become fully charged. New

battery packs are not fully charged. Two to ten normal charging/discharging cycles may be required before the pack can take its maximum charge.

Never completely discharge the battery pack. MILWAUKEE battery

packs do not develop a "memory" when charged after only a partial discharge. Taping-on triggers or leaving work lights on for extended periods to completely discharge the battery pack will reduce its life by upsetting the electrochemical balance and can result in short-circuiting of the battery.

Do not use or charge batteries in hot or cold places (below 40°F (5°C)

or above 105°F (40°C)). Temperature extremes reduce the ability for battery pack cells to hold a charge. Do not store batteries where the temperature may exceed 120°F (50°C), such as in a vehicle or metal building during the summer.

To avoid overheating to a battery pack, allow cordless tools cool down between high torque drilling/cutting applications.

The increased energy discharge rate will heat the battery pack cells faster than the cells can release the heat. This could damage the cells.

After use, allow a hot battery pack to cool to room temperature before inserting it

into the charger. If a hot battery is put on a charger, charging will not begin until the battery has cooled to a safe temperature. See your charger manual for more information on charging temperatures. Charging a hot battery will damage the cells.

Never forcibly heat up or cool down batteries. This will damage some cells in the

pack, causing them to not be able to hold a charge.

Remove the battery pack from the tool for charging when the tool can no longer perform its intended function (i.e., drilling,

cutting, etc.).

Leave the battery pack on the charger after it has reached a full charge; the pack will continue to

receive a trickle charge to ensure capacity is maintained.

Occasionally (once a week) leave the batteries on the charger overnight to help maintain cell balance.

Do not store the battery on the charger (for more than 24 hours); this could reduce battery life.

Never leave batteries on chargers where power interruptions are common. Damage

to the battery cells could occur.

Store batteries at room temperature away from moisture. Do not

store in damp locations where corro-

sion of terminals may occur.

Do not submerge your battery or cordless tools in water. This will damage the

battery and tool.

Charge unused batteries overnight at least every six months to maximize battery life. Unused batteries discharge at a

rate of about 1% per day and will be fully discharged after six months. For batteries stored for a long time, two to ten normal charging cycles may be required before the pack is fully charged.

Do not use oil or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery pack. The plastic

casing will become brittle and crack, causing a risk of injury.

WARNING!

Charge only MILWAUKEE 12, 14.4 and 18 Volt battery packs in MILWAUKEE chargers. Other brands of batteries may explode causing personal injury and damage.

For speciﬁ c charging instructions, please read the operator's manual supplied with your charger.

OPERATION

WARNING!

When tool is not in use, lock trigger to prevent the tool from being accidentally turned on.

Starting and Stopping and Controlling Speed

1. Pull trigger to dispense material.

2. Increase or decrease pressure on the trigger to dispense the material. Adjust the speed dial to select the maximum speed for proper bead width and material feed rate. On the speed dial, "1" is the slowest speed and "6" is the fastest speed. The trigger pressure, selected speed, material type, temperature and nozzle diameter will all affect the ﬂ ow rate. When using a tube or pack with a smaller nozzle diameter use a slower speed or the material may be forced around the rear tube seat.

3. Release trigger to stop dispensing material.

NOTE: The plunger will stop automatically when it has reached the end of the tube.

Locking the Trigger (Fig. 6)

Always lock trigger or remove battery pack before changing accessories or performing maintenance. Lock trigger when the tool is not in use and when storing the tool.

Fig. 6

Locked

Unlocked

1. To lock the trigger, push trigger lock in the direction shown. The trigger will not work when the trigger lock in the locked position.

2. To unlock the trigger, push the trigger lock in the direction shown.

Adjusting Plunger Rod

1. T o manually adjust plunger rod, press in and hold rod release trigger.

2. Grasp plunger rod handle and either push or pull rod in or out.

3. Release rod release trigger.

NOTE: Keep plunger rod clean of material. Retracting a plunger that is covered with material may damage the internal parts of the tool.

Electronic Overload Protection

The gun is protected by an electronic overload protection feature. If too much pressure is exerted on the tube, the motor will automatically reverse for one second, and then shut down. This helps to prevent damage to the tool and the caulk tube or pack.

If the motor shuts off, make sure that:

• Nozzle tip is cut

• Inner seal in the caulk tube is broken

• Hardened material is removed from the nozzle

• Caulk tube is not damaged or frozen

• Plunger rod is free of caulk/adhesive materials

Release trigger to allow the electronics to reset. If the motor continues to shut off, try another tube of material or take the tool to a MILWAUKEE Service Center.

Auto-Reverse Mechanism

The auto-reverse feature reverses the plunger when the trigger is pressed for more than 1 second and then released. This helps to stop excess material from continuing to ﬂ ow.

Pulsing the trigger will deactivate the autoreverse mechanism and allow for continued pressure on the tube. This helps maintain a slower material feed rate.

8 9

Auto-Shut Off

When a caulk tube is empty, the auto-shut of f feature will turn the motor off. Pull the plunger back and replace the tube.

Caution: Unexplained tool shut-off or autoreverse may be due to caulk or adhesive material on the plunger rod. Plunger rod must

remain clean and free of all caulk and adhesive material. If material does get on plunger rod mechanism, remove the plunger rod and clean the material off of the rod and tool with a brush and solvent according to the caulk or adhesive material's manufacturer.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of personal injury and damage, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow a liquid to ﬂ ow inside them.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of explosion, never burn a battery pack even if it is damaged, dead or completely discharged.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, 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.

Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. After six months to one year, depending on use, return the tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE service facility for:

• Lubrication

• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)

• Electrical inspection (battery pack, charger, motor)

• T esting to assure proper mechanical and electrical operation

Maintaining Tool

If the tool does not start or operate at full power with a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on the battery pack. If the tool still does not work properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.

Maintaining Battery Pack

MILWAUKEE battery packs will operate for many years and/or hundreds of cycles when they are maintained and used according to these instructions.

A battery pack that is stored for six months without being used will discharge itself. Batteries discharge at a rate of about 1% per day. Charge the battery every six months even if it is unused to maximize battery life. Do not tape the trigger in the “ON” position and leave the tool unattended as this may discharge the battery to a point where it will no longer be able to recharge. Use a MILWAUKEE battery pack only until it no longer performs with the power and torque needed for your application.

Store your battery pack in a cool, dry place. Do not store it where the temperature may exceed 120°F (50°C) such as a vehicle or metal building during the summer. High temperatures will overheat the battery pack, reducing battery life. If it is stored for several months, the battery pack will gradually lose its charge. One to three cycles of charging and discharging through normal use will restore the capacity of the battery pack. During the life of the battery pack the operating time between charges becomes shorter. If the operating time becomes extremely short after a proper charge, the usable life of the battery pack has been reached and it should be replaced.

Cleaning

Clean dust and debris from charger and tool vents. 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 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 sol- vents around tools.

RBRC Battery Recycling Seals

The RBRC™ Battery Recycling Seals (see "Symbology") on your tool battery packs indicate that MILWAUKEE has arranged for the recycling of that battery pack with the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC). At the end of your battery pack's useful life, return the battery pack to a MILWAUKEE Branch Ofﬁ ce/Service Center or the participating retailer nearest you. For more information, visit the RBRC web site at www.rbrc.org.

Disposing of Nickel-Cadmium Battery Packs

Nickel-Cadmium battery packs are recyclable. Under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Dispose of your battery pack according to federal, state and local regulations.

Repairs

For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger to the nearest service center listed on the back cover of this operator's manual.

Battery Pack Warranty

Battery packs for cordless tools are warranted for one year from the date of purchase.

RÈGLES GÉNÉRALES DE SÉCURITÉ POUR LES OUTILS ALIMEN-

TÉS PAR BATTERIE

AVERTISSEMENT!

LIRE SOIGNEUSEMENT TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS

Le non respect des instructions ci-après peut entraîner des chocs électriques, des incendies et/ou des blessures graves. 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).

CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS

SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU

DE TRAVAIL

1. Maintenir la zone de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les zones encombrées ou mal

éclairées sont favorables aux accidents.

2. 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.

3. 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

4. La ﬁ che de l’outil électrique doit cor- respondre à la prise d’alimentation. Ne jamais modifier la fiche 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.

5. 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.

6. Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à l’humidité. Le risque de choc électrique augmente si de l’eau s’inﬁ ltre dans un outil électrique.

7. 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

endommagé ou emmêlé présente un risque accru de choc électrique.

8. 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.

SÉCURITÉ INDIVIDUELLE

9. 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’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un

instant d’inattention lors de l’utilisation d’un outil électrique peut entraîner des blessures graves.

10. Utiliser un équipement de sécurité.

Toujours porter des lunettes de protection. Un équipement de sécurité

comprenant masque anti-poussière, chaussures de sécurité anti-dérapantes, casque ou dispositif de protection antibruit peut, dans les circonstances appropriées, réduire le risque de blessure.

11. Éviter tout démarrage accidentel de

l’outil. S’assurer que le commutateur est en position OFF (Arrêt) avant de brancher l’outil. Le port de l’outil avec

un doigt sur le commutateur ou son branchement avec le commutateur en position ON (Marche) sont favorables aux accidents.
