tions provided with this power tool. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fi re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and in-
structions for future reference. The term "power tool"
in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifi ca-
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. Un-
modifi 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
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
infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A mo-
ment 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 fi nger on
switch or energising 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 at-
tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
the
•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 col-
lection 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 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
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 affect 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 main-
tained 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.
•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.
tool before making any adjustments,
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
•Recharge only with the charger specifi ed
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.
•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.
•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.

•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.
•Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modifi ed. Damaged or modifi ed batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fi re, explo-
sion or risk of injury.
•Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fi re or ex-
cessive temperature. Exposure to fi 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 specifi ed in the instructions. Charging im-
properly or at temperatures outside the specifi ed range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fi re.
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.
•Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorised service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
KNOCKOUT TOOL
•Use tool only as directed. Only trained personnel
should operate tool.
•Do not use in or
work on de-energised electrical panels. Disconnect all
electrical current before use to avoid the risk of electric
shock.
•Keep hands away from knockout die and punch
while tool is in use. Fingers could be crushed or
severed.
•To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or
glasses with side shields. Before use, inspect and
discard workpieces and accessories with cracks
or damage. Shards from weakened metal could cause
injury.
•Avoid contact with punched metal edges. Edges
may be sharp and could cause injury.
•Do not attempt to punch through more than one
layer of material at a time. Punching through multiple
layers could cause the material and accessories to
warp break, throwing shards that could cause injury.
•Use tool only with knockout dies and punches
rated for the peak output force of this tool. Other
uses may cause injury or damage to the tool, accessories, and workpiece.
•Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry im-
portant information. If unreadable or missing, contact
a MILWAUKEE
