SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR ROTARY TOOL

Safety warnings common for grinding, sanding, wire brushing, polishing, carving or abrasive cutting-off operations:

• This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher, carving 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.

• Do not use accessories that 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.

• The RATED SPEED of the accessories must be at least equal to the operating speed setting marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their RATED SPEED can break and fly apart.

• 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 controlled.

• The arbor size of wheels, sanding drums or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle or collet of the power tool. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

• Mandrel MOUNTED WHEELS, sanding drums, cutters or other accessories must be fully inserted into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held and/or the overhang of the wheel is too long, the MOUNTED WHEEL may become loose and be ejected at high velocity.

• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessories such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, sanding drum 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.

• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the application, use face shield, safety goggles or  safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and a workshop 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.

• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpieces or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond the immediate area of operation.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its cord. Cutting accessories contacting a ′′live′′ wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool ′′live′′ and could givethe operator an electric shock.

• Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.

• Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round materials such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing tend to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.

• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.

• 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.

• After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown.

• 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.

• Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.

• Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock. Kickback and related warnings Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, sanding band, 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. 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 the 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.

• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

• Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing tend to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

• Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickbacks and loss of control.

• Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.

• When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, highspeed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed cutter or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from the groove and you could lose control of the tool. Safety warnings specific for grinding and abrasive cutting-off operations:

• Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

• For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved shoulder flange that are of correct size and length. Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.

• Do not ′′jam′′ a 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 snagging of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

• Do not position your hand in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.

• When wheel is pinched, snagged 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 pinching or snagging.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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:

• 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.

• Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using them. During this time no one is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose bristles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time.

• Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you. Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity during the use of these brushes and may become imbedded in your skin.

• WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, when working in dusty situations, wear appropriate respiratory protection or use an OSHA compliant dust extraction solution.

• 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.

Typical Applications

A large variety of accessories are available for applications such as grinding, sanding, and cutting.
Grinding/Sanding Use sanding and grinding accessories that are:

• less than 2″ / 55 mm in diameter
• correct accessory type and grit for the job
• rated at or above the RPM listed on the tool’s nameplate

Wheel Brushes

• Wire wheel brushes are useful for removing rust, scale, burrs, weld slag, etc. A wide variety of wire brushes are available for many applications.
• When applying brush to work, avoid using too much pressure.
• This causes over-bending of wires and heat build-up resulting in premature wire breakage, rapid dulling, and reduced brush life.
• Instead of using more pressure, try a wire wheel brush with more aggressive cutting action (increased wire size, decreased wire length or different brush type, i.e. knot type instead of crimped wire type).

Cutting

Always handle cutting wheels carefully to avoid damage. Before installing any wheel, always inspect it for cracks. If the wheel is cracked, discard it to prevent others from using it. Cutting wheels should be protected from:

• wetness and extreme humidity
• any type of solvent
• extreme changes in temperature
• dropping and bumping

If a cutting wheel encounters any of these situations, discard the wheel immediately.

OPERATION

• WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always wear proper eye protection marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
• When working in dusty situations, wear appropriate respiratory protection or use an OSHA-compliant dust extraction solution.

Fuel Gauge

• To determine the amount of charge left in the battery, turn the tool ON. The fuel gauge will light up for 2-3 seconds. When less than 10% of charge is left, 1 light on the fuel gauge will flash 4 times.
• To signal the end of charge, 1 light on the fuel gauge will flash 8 times and the tool will not run. Charge the battery pack.
• If the battery becomes too hot, the fuel gauge lights will flash and the tool will not run. Allow the battery to cool down.

Selecting the Speed

• To set the speed, use the speed selector buttons +/- to cycle from the lowest speed (5000 RPM) to the highest speed (27,500 RPM).
• Each LED can display two speeds. Odd speeds (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11) display initially as solid. Even speeds (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) display initially as blinking, then go solid. The LEDs will light as you increase/decrease the speed setting.
  • NOTE: The tool will default to the selected speed the next time it is turned on.

Using the Rotary Tool

• Determine the best grip for your job.
• The rotary tool can be held like a pencil for fine work or gripped around the body when less precision is needed.
• Practice on scrap material to determine the best speed, and correct accessory, and get a feel for the job.
• Do not press the accessory into the workpiece. Little or no operator force should be needed when the correct accessory and speed are used. Touch the accessory to the workpiece and guide it over the work, making multiple passes when necessary.
• Move the tool in the same direction as the bit is spinning (as indicated by the arrow near the front of the tool). Moving the tool in the opposite direction can cause the tool to kickback, ending up in loss of control and damage to the workpiece
  • WARNING Everyone in the area must wear protective clothing and safety goggles or face shields. Damaged accessories may fly apart with considerable force, causing the potential for serious injury.

Starting/Stopping

1. Use a clamp, vise, or other practical means to hold your work, freeing both hands to control your tool.
2. To start the tool, grasp the tool and slide the switch forward to the ON (I) position.
3. Allow the tool to come to full speed before beginning work.
4. Use the speed selector buttons to cycle from the lowest speed (5000 RPM) to the highest speed (27,500 RPM).
