SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General safety instructions for grinding, working with wire
brushes and abrasive cutting.
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, wire
brush, or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as sanding 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.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just
because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it
does not assure safe operation.
d) 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
fly apart.
e) 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.
f) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any
other accessory must properly fit 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.
g) 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 accessories will
normally break apart during this test time.
h) 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 capable of stopping small abrasive
or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) 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 fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area
of operation.
j) 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.
k) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the
surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
l) 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.
m) 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.
n) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
o) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using
water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.
WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in
EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications,
with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over
the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories,
keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
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.
a) Maintain a firm 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.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade or toothed
saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected
wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot
be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) 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, accidental contact
with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
c) 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.
d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct
size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges
support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheel flanges.
e) 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 Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let
the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The
wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted
in the workpiece.
e) 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.
f) 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.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even
during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by
applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can
easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing,
do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with
the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to
work load and centrifugal forces.
Dust and splinters must not be removed while the machine is
running.
Never reach into the danger area of the tool when it is running.
Always use the auxiliary handle.
Always use the protecting cap when roughing-down and
separating.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable
vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in
order to find out the cause.
Always use and store the grinding disks according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care that
no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fire, no
combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark
flight zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Due care should be taken that no sparks or sanding dust flying
from the workpiece come into contact with you.
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work with
the machine.
The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be
steady. Never lead the workpiece to the grinding disk with your
hand.
For accessories intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel,
ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the
spindle length.
For cutting or separating use a closed protection cap, available
as an accessory.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or
by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors offer to retrieve old
batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
Use only System C 18 chargers for charging System C 18 battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in
dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme
load or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery
acid wash it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye
contact rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately
seek medical attention.
