WARNING for Vibration!
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised 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 diﬀerent applications, with diﬀerent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may diﬀer. 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 eﬀects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

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

ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abrasive Cutting-Oﬀ Operations:

This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush 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.
Operations such as polishing are not recommended
to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories which 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 accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accesso-ries 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 guarded or controlled.
threaded mounting of accessories must match the grin-der spindle thread. For accessories mounted by ﬂanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must ﬁt the locating diameter of the ﬂange.
Accessories that do not match the mounting hard-ware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad 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.
ear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and 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 protec-tive equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may ﬂy away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, 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.
ever 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.
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 the 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, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snag-ging 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 at the point of the binding. 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 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. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool
in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the speciﬁc guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount
of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps
to protect the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-oﬀ wheel. Abrasive cut-oﬀ wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel ﬂanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel ﬂanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-oﬀ wheels may be diﬀerent from grinding wheel ﬂanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Do not “jam” the 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 binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
When wheel is binding 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 binding.
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.
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.
If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.

Additional Safety and Working Instructions

Always check if the spindle lock button is fully released before switching on the tool! After using the spindle lock to tighten / loosen the abrasive disc, it is possible that the button may stick in the lock position.
When grinding metal, ﬂying sparks are produced. Take care that no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of ﬁre, no combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark ﬂight zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Avoid ﬂying sparks and sanding dust hit your body.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running.
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running.
Immediately switch oﬀ the machine in case of considerable vibra-tions or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to ﬁnd out the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with the arbour and vulcanized ﬁbre grinding wheel), signiﬁcant contami-nation can build up on the inside of the angle grinder.
Do not let any metal parts enter the airing slots – danger of short circuit!
WARNING! Danger of burns! The wheel and workpiece will become hot during use. Wear gloves when changing discs or touching workpiece. Keep hands away from the grinding area at all times.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of ﬁre, 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. Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry rooms. Keep dry at all times. Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18 battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.

BATTERIES

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 char-ged, after use. Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be recharged before 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 mois-ture, 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 oﬀer to retrieve old batteries to protect our environment. Do not store thae battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit risk).

BATTERY PACK PROTECTION

In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations that cause high current draw, the tool will stop for about 2 seconds 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. Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legisla-tion 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

RESTART PROTECTION

The power tool is supplied with a restart protection. This prevents the switched-on power tool from starting by itself when the battery pack is inserted and from restarting after a switch-oﬀ function of the battery pack. If the grinding body is outside of the workpiece switch oﬀ the power tool and then switch it back on again in order to continue to work. If the cutting wheel is inside of the workpiece wait until the wheel comes to a complete stop, remove the battery pack, pull the wheel out of the cut, switch oﬀ the power tool, insert the battery pack and then switch the power tool back on again in order to continue to work.

OVERLOAD AND KICKBACK PROTECTION

The power tool has an overload and kickback safety function and stops if it is overloaded. Switch oﬀ the power tool and then switch the power tool back on again in order to continue to work. The run-on brake engages when the trigger is released, causing the tool to stop within seconds. Make sure that the insertion tool comes to a complete stop before laying it downIn comparison with tools without a run-on brake the run-on time will be highly reduced by braking. If the time between releasing the switch and the stop of the insertion tool increases to much, please have the tool serviced by an authorized MILWAUKEE service facility. Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the appliance. The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times. Use only Milwaukee accessories and Milwaukee spare parts.
