Noise/vibration information

Measured values determined according to EN 60 745.

Typically, the A-weighted noise levels of the tool are:

Sound pressure level (Uncertainty K=3dB(A)) ………………………….. < 70 dB (A)
The noise level when working can exceed 80 dB (A).
Wear ear protectors!
Total vibration values (vector sum in the three axes) determined according to EN 60745.
Vibration emission value ah ……………………………………………………. < 2,5 m/s2
Uncertainty K = …………………………………………………………………….. 1,5 m/s2

WARNING

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized 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 diff erent applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may diff er. 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 eff ects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Always wear goggles when using the machine. It is recommended to wear gloves, sturdy non slipping shoes and apron.
Keep hands and loose clothes away from all cutting edges and moving parts.
To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and property damage, never cut gas lines, electrical lines, or full water lines.
Shut off water and drain lines before making a cut.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the machine.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors off er to retrieve old batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit risk).
Use only System C12 chargers for charging System C12 battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
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.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow fluid to flow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive fl uids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc.,can cause a short circuit.

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

The pipe cutter is designed for cutting plastic pipes (PEX).
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.

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 used.
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.

BATTERY PACK PROTECTION

In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge will fl ash,and then the tool will turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger. Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery could become to high. If this happens, the fuel gauge will fl ash and the battery pack cool and then continue work.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation 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

WORKING TIPS

Pipe can crack or shatter at any time. Always use caution and begin the cut slowly.
Pipe becomes more brittle in lower temperatures, increasing the risk of cracking or shattering. Cutting pipe with this tool is not recommended below 10°C.
Short or thin-wall pieces of pipe may shatter or collapse when cut.
If you cannot hold the workpiece safely, it is too short to be cut.
Cut slowly and further in from the end of the pipe to avoid crooked cuts.
A single “click” when starting a cut is normal – the blade is engaging the closing mechanism.
Do not attempt angled cuts. It will damage the blade. Hold the pipe squarely in the jaws.
Cut clean material to extend the blade life. Wipe dirt and debris from pipe before beginning the cut.

MAINTENANCE

Replace the blade when it becomes dull or chipped.

A blade is dull when:

During a cut, the tool makes a ratcheting sound, indicating the blade is having a hard time pushing through the material. Room temperature pipe cracks during a cut. Blade edge appears dull, rounded, or damaged. Use only Milwaukee accessories and spare parts. Should components need to be replaced which have not been described, please contact one of our Milwaukee service agents (see our list of guarantee/service addresses).

If needed, an exploded view of the tool can be ordered. Please state the machine type printed as well as the six-digit No. on the label and order the drawing at your local service agents or directly at: Techtronic Industries GmbH, Max-Eyth-Straße 10, 71364 Winnenden, Germany.
