WARNING
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has
been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 62841 and may
be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary
assessment of exposure. The declared vibration and noise 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 and noise emission may diÍer. This may significantly increase the
exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take
into account the times when the tool is switched oÍ 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 eÍects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintaining
the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm, and organization of work
patterns.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and
speciÿcations provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, tyre, and/or serious
injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

CAUTION
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR FISH TAPE
Do not use on or near live circuits When working near elec-trical equipment,
use extreme caution. When pulling through conduit which contains any other
wires, be certain that power to those wires has been turned oÍ or
disconnected.
Maintain proper footing and balance when performing pulling operations. Do not
pull from a ladder. If a snag or resistance is encountered, a ladder could
become unstable which may result in a loss of balance or control.
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.
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.
Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If
unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
- Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when working with the machine. The use of protective clothing is recom-mended, such as dust mask, protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear, helmet and ear defenders.
- The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health. Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
- Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health (e.g. asbestos).
- Switch the device oÍ immediately if the insertion tool stalls! Do not switch the device on again while the insertion tool is stalled, as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force. Determine why the insertion tool stalled and rectify this, paying heed to the safety instructions.
- Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the appliance.
- Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors oÍer to retrieve old batteries to protect our environment.
- Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit risk).
- Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash it oÍ immediately with soap and water.
- In case of eye contact rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical attention.
- To reduce the risk of ÿre, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in Îuid or allow a Îuid to Îow inside them. Corrosive or conductive Îuids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., Can cause a short circuit.
Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18 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.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The fish tape is an ideal tool to be used to route wiring through walls and electrical conduit.
BATTERIES
- Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be recharged before use.
- Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
- The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
- For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged, after use.
- To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
- For battery pack storage longer than 30 days: Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away from moisture Store the battery packs in a 30% – 50% charged condition Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
- Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legisla-tion requirements.
- Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with local, national and international provisions and regulations.
- The user can transport the batteries by road without further requirements.
- Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately trained persons and the process has to be accompanied by corresponding experts.
When transporting batteries:
- Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to prevent short circuit. Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within packaging. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak. Check with forwarding company for further advice.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
- In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situa-tions that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge will Îash,and then the tool will turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger.
- Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge will Îash until the battery pack cooled down. After the lights go oÍ, the work may continue.
- Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.
