WARNING!
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has
been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 50636-2-100
Annex BB 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 differ. 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 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 and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep
the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
**WARNING** Read these instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the machine. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES
Use of Li-Ion batteries
Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged. Rechargeable batteries are
to be removed from the appliance before being charged; Exhausted batteries are
to be removed from the appliance and safely disposed of. If the appliance is
to be stored unused for a long period, the batteries should be removed.
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.
Battery protection for Li-Ion batteries
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 flash,and then the tool will turn OFF.
To reset, remove the battery pack from the tool and replace it. Under extreme
circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery pack could raise too
much. If this happens, the fuel gauge will flash until the battery pack cooled
down. After the lights go off, the work may continue.
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.
CLEANING
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.
MAINTENANCE
Use only Milwaukee accessories and Milwaukee 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).
