Noise/vibration information
Measured values determined according to EN 62841.
Typically, the A-weighted noise levels of the tool are:
Sound pressure level (Uncertainty K=3dB(A)) ………………………………………….84,7 dB (A)
Sound power level (Uncertainty K=3dB(A)) ……………………………………………..95,7 dB (A)

Wear ear protectors!
Total vibration values (vector sum in the three axes) were determined according to EN 62841.

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 diffevent applications, with diffevent 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: maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm, and organization of work patterns.
WARNING 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. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
SABRE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a „live“  wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool „live“ and could give the operator an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when working with the machine.
The use of protective clothing is recommended, such as a 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 off 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.
The possible causes may be:

  • it is tilted in the workpiece to be machined
  • it has pierced through the material to be machined
  • the power tool is overloaded

Do not reach into the machine while it is running.
The insertion tool may become hot during use.

WARNING! Danger of burns

  • when changing tools
  • when setting the device down

Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running.
When working in walls ceilings, or floor, take care to avoid electric cables and gas or water pipes.
Clamp your workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
Do not use cracked or distorted saw blades.
Plunge cuts without pre-drilling a hole are possible with soft materials (wood, light building materials for walls). Harder materials (metals) must first be drilled with a hole corresponding to the size of the saw blade.
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).
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the charger (short circuit risk).
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.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with the battery, acid washes 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 a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
This saber saw cuts wood, plastic, and metal. It can cut straight lines, curves, and internal cut-outs. It cuts pipes and can cut flush to a surface. Do not use this product in any other way than stated for normal use.

BATTERIES

Battery packs that 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 lifetime, after use, the battery packs have to be fully charged.
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 a high current draw, the tool will stop for about 2 seconds, and then the tool will turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperatures of the battery could become too high. If this happens, the battery will shut down.
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 exclusive 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 circuits.
  • Ensure that the battery pack is secured against movement within the packaging.
  • Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.
    Check with the forwarding company for further advice

MAINTENANCE

The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.
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).
