    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 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 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.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

  • Recharge only with the charger specified 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.

  • Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

  • 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 fire.

  • Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush 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 modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fi re, explosion or risk of injury.

  • Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fi re or excessive temperature. Exposure to fi 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 specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

SERVICE

  • Have your power tool serviced by a qualified 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 PIPE THREADER

  • Keep floor dry and free of slippery materials such as oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.

  • Restrict access or barricade the area from bystanders when the workpiece extends beyond the machine to provide a minimum of three feet (one meter) clearance from the workpiece.
    Restricting access or barricading the work area around the workpiece will reduce the risk of entanglement.

  • Do not wear gloves. Gloves may be entangled by the rotating pipe or machine parts leading to personal injury.

  • Do not use the machine for other purposes such as drilling holes or turning winches. Other uses or modifying this machine for other applications may increase the risk of serious injury.

  • Secure the machine to a bench or stand. Support long heavy pipe with pipe supports. This practice will prevent the machine from tipping.

  • While operating the machine, stand on the side where the operator control switch is located. Operating the machine from this side eliminates need to reach over the machine.

  • Keep hands away from rotating pipe and fittings. Stop the machine before wiping pipe threads or screwing on fittings. Allow the machine to come to a complete stop before touching the pipe.
    This practice will reduce the risk of entanglement in rotating parts.

  • Do not use this machine to install or remove fittings. This practice could lead to trapping, entanglement and loss of control.

  • Do not operate the machine without all covers properly installed. Exposing moving parts increases the probability of entanglement.

  • Do not use this machine if the foot switch is broken or missing. The foot switch provides safe control of the machine, such as emergency shutoff in case of entanglement.

  • Before each use, inspect the pipe threader for any broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding parts or other damage. Confirm that the foot switch is attached and operating properly.
    Such preventive measures reduce the risk of serious injury from electric shock, crushing and helps prevent pipe threader damage.

  • Never reach into the machine from front or rear chuck, this will reduce the risk of entanglement.

  • Only one person must control the work process, tool operation, and foot switch. Additional people involved in the process may result in unintended operation and personal injury.

  • Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned while operating the tool. Do not reach across the tool or pipe. Clothing can be caught by the pipe or the tool resulting in entanglement.

  • Never run the machine without thread cutting oil. Parts may become hot and cause machine to overheat.

  • Do not use dies that are showing signs of wear, dull, or damaged. Sharp cutting tools require less torque and the tool is easier to control.

  • Only use MILWAUKEE or equivalent die heads. Other die heads may not fi t correctly in the tool increasing the risk of equipment damage and personal injury.

  • Do not use cart to transport other loads or add additional accessories.

  • Fingers can be pinched between the legs of the cart. To reduce the risk of injury while setting up/collapsing, keep fi ngers out of areas where the legs are secure in place.

  • Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep coin cell battery away from children.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury in applications that produce a considerable 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 filter out microscopic particles.
