WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications 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 mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• 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 op
-
erating 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. 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 condi
-
tions. W
ater 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.
•
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 off-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 bal
-
ance 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 ig
-
nore tool safety principles. A
careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
•
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 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 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 and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool’s operation. If dam
-
aged, 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.
• 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.
• Recharge only with the charger specied by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one

from moving parts and chips.
Do not try to remove chips while
the cutter is rotating. Chips are
sharp and can pull objects into
moving parts.

Clean the surface before attaching the drill
stand to the work surface. Paint, rust, scale, or
uneven surfaces decrease the holding strength of
the magnet. Chips, burrs, dirt and other foreign
matter on the surface of the magnet base will also
decrease holding power.
• Do not attach magnetic base to nonmagnetic
grades of stainless steel. The magnet base WILL
NOT hold. The permanent magnetic drill attaches
magnetically to 6.35 mm (1/4") or thicker ferrous
stock. Do not
use on stock less than 6.35 mm (1/4").

type of battery pack may create a risk of re when
used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specically desig

nated 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 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 ac
cidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritati
on or burns.

explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re
or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause
explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the specied range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of re.
• 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.
• 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.
• Safety Strap
• Do not use near acids or bleaching agents.
• Do not use for overhead lifting.
• Do not use strap if webbing is cut.
• Webbing must be protected from sharp edges.
• All hardware must be in line with direction of
pull for rated capacity.
•
• WARNING Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause can
cer, 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.
Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact the store where the product was originally
purchased or one of our authorised MILWAUKEE®
service centres for a replacement.
