TECHNICAL DATA

Total vibration values (vector sum in the three axes) determined according to EN 50636-2-100 Annex BB|
Vibration emission value ah| 0.31 m/s2
Uncertainty K| 1.5 m/s2

WARNING!

The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 50636-2-100 Annex BB and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for diff erent applications, used with diff erent accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may diff er. These conditions may signifi cantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned off or when it is running idle. These conditions may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eff ects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm, and organising work patterns.

WARNING!

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifi cations provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re, and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

BATTERIES

Battery packs that have not been used for some time should be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C reduce the performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of the chargers and battery packs must be kept clean. For an optimum lifetime, 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.

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 M18 System chargers for charging M18 System battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers, and store them only in dry rooms. Keep the battery packs and chargers dry at all times.
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the charger (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 off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical attention.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse the product, battery pack, or charger in fl uid or allow fl uid to fl ow 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.

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 fl ashes, and then the product turns 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 fl ashes until the battery pack cools down. After the lights go off, continue working.
