GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specica-
tions provided with this power tool. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings
and instructions for future reference. The term
"power tool" in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (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 atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing 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. Unmodied 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 ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI 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 inuence 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 a 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 o-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the
switch or energizing 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
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 o. 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may aect
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, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
dierent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• Recharge only with the charger specied by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of re when used
with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and 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
3
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or
risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or ex-
cessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature
above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specied
range may damage the battery and increase the risk
of re.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
CUT OFF TOOLS
Cut-O Machine Safety Warnings
• The guard provided with the tool must be securely
attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. Position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from
broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with
wheel.
• Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut-o
wheels for your power tool. Just because an 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 y apart.
• Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of cut-o wheel. Abrasive cut-o wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied
to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
• Always use undamaged wheel anges that are of
correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel anges support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage.
• Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from
larger power tools. Wheels intended for a larger
power tool are not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
• The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories can-
not be adequately guarded or controlled.
• The arbour size of wheels and flanges must
properly t the spindle of the power tool. Wheels
and anges 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 damaged wheels. Before each use,
inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If power
tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting
and installing the wheel, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
wheel and run the power tool at maximum no
load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will
normally break apart during this test time.
• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron ca-
pable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
stopping ying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable
of 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 wheel may y away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, 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.
• Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. The spinning wheel
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 can draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
• Do not operate the power tool near ammable
materials. Do not operate the power tool while
placed on a combustible surface such as wood.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
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.
4
• The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories can-
not be adequately guarded or controlled.
• The arbour size of wheels, anges, backing pads
or any other accessory must properly 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.
Additional Safety Warnings
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves
it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and
property damage, always check the work area for
hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or water pipes
when making blind or plunge cuts.
• Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts. Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury in applications that produce a consider-
able amount of dust, use an OSHA compliant dust
extraction solution in accordance with the solution’s operating instructions.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
• 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
lter out microscopic particles.

UL Listing for Canada and U.S.
• Maintain a 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 line with the rotat-
ing wheel. 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,
segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap
greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
• Do not "jam" the cut-o 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.
• When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch o the power tool and hold
the power tool motionless until the wheel comes
to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the
cut-o 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 “pocket cut”
into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical
wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

Remove the battery pack before changing accessories or making adjustments.
This tool is designed to cut metal and nonmetallic materials. To reduce the risk of injury,
DO NOT use a toothed blade.
For wet/dry diamond abrasive wheels, use only
clean water and avoid over-wetting the work-
piece. Never immerse your tool or battery pack
in liquid or allow a liquid to ow inside them.
Preventing Kickback
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched wheel
which could cause a cut o tool that is not under
control to lift up and out of the workpiece towards
the user. Take the precautions below to help prevent
kickback.
• Maintain a rm grip and correct body position.
Position arms and body to control the backward and
upward reaction force of kickback. Control the cut
o tool at all times.
• 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 dust
shoe assembly is tight.
• Always allow the wheel to come to a full stop
before removing the cut o tool from the workpiece. Never remove the cut o tool 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 o tool up a few inches and center
it in the kerf before restarting.
• Stay alert. Any distraction can cause twisting or
binding. Repetitive cuts may lull the user into careless movements.
• Do not force the tool. Forcing a cut o tool reduces
control and cutting eciency.
If kickback should occur, continue to grip the cut o
tool rmly and immediately release trigger.
Making a Cut
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Install the correct cut-o wheel for the material and
adjust the guard. Install the dust shoe assembly
when possible.
3. Adjust the depth of cut when using the dust shoe
assembly.
4. Insert the battery pack.
5. Line up the cut but do not allow the cut-o wheel
to contact the workpiece.
6. To start the tool, pull the trigger and allow the tool
to reach full speed before beginning the cut. Slowly
move the tool through the workpiece.
NOTE: Always start the cut gently pushing the tool
through the workpiece. Do not bang or bump a
cut-o wheel when starting or during a cut. Always
push the tool away from you.
7. While cutting, keep the shoe at against the workpiece and maintain a rm grip. Do not force the
cut o tool through the workpiece. Forcing a cut
o tool can cause kickback.
8. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Allow the
cut-o wheel to come to a complete stop before
removing the tool from a cut.
9. If making a partial cut, restarting a cut or cor-
recting 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, pull the trigger and re-enter
the cut slowly.
10. When cutting plastic, avoid overheating the blade
to prevent melting the workpiece.
11. If the cut o tool stalls or overheats, maintain
a rm grip and release the trigger immediately.
Allow the tool to cool before continuing.
