Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the machine.
Blade release: to open or close the blade when the battery pack has no power or has been removed. It will not usually remove the blade from a partial cut or open the blade from a tight close.
TECHNICAL DATA
Pipe diameter min. / max. ………………………………………………………………….12 / 50 mm
Battery voltage……………………………………………………………………………………….12 V
Weight according to EPTA-Procedure 01/2003 ……………………………………………..1,9 kg
Noise/vibration information
Measured values were determined according to EN 60 745.
Typically, the A-weighted noise levels of the tool are:
Sound pressure level (K = 3 dB(A)) ………………………………………………………< 70 dB (A)
The noise level when working can exceed 80 dB (A).
Wear ear protectors!
Total vibration values (vector sum in the three axes) were determined
according to EN 60745.
Vibration emission value ah ……………………………………………………………….< 2,5 m/s²
Uncertainty K = …………………………………………………………………………………..1,5 m/s²
WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured
in accordance with a standardized 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
signifi cantly 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 signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over
the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects
of vibration such as: maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the
hands warm, and organization of work patterns.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions, including those
given in the accompanying brochure. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Always wear goggles when using the machine. It is recommended to wear gloves,
sturdy nonslipping shoes, and an apron.
Keep hands and loose clothes away from all cutting edges and moving parts.
To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock, and property damage, never
cut gas lines, electrical lines, or full water lines. Shut off water and drain
lines before making a cut.
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 offer to retrieve old batteries to protect our
environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit
risk).
Use only System C12 chargers for charging System C12 battery packs. Do not use
battery packs from other systems.
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.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The pipe cutter is designed for cutting plastic pipes (PEX).
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.
BATTERIES
New battery packs reach full loading capacity after 4 – 5 chargings and
dischargings. 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.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling, and short circuit situations that
cause a high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel
gauge will fl ash, and then the tool will turn OFF. To reset, release the
trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery could
become too high. If this happens, the fuel gauge will fl ash, and the battery
pack cools and then continue to work.
WORKING TIPS
The pipe can crack or shatter at any time. Always use caution and begin the
cut slowly.
The pipe becomes more brittle in lower temperatures, increasing the risk of
cracking or shattering. Cutting pipe with this tool is not recommended below
10°C.
Short or thin-wall pieces of the pipe may shatter or collapse when cut. If you
cannot hold the workpiece safely, it is too short to be cut.
Cut slowly and further in from the end of the pipe to avoid crooked cuts.
A single “click” when starting a cut is normal – the blade is engaging the
closing mechanism.
Do not attempt angled cuts. It will damage the blade. Hold the pipe squarely
in the jaws.
Cut clean material to extend the blade life. Wipe dirt and debris from the
pipe before beginning the cut.
MAINTENANCE
Replace the blade when it becomes dull or chipped.
A blade is dull when:
During a cut, the tool makes a ratcheting sound, indicating the blade is
having a hard time pushing through the material.
Room temperature pipe cracks during a cut.
The blade edge appears dull, rounded, or damaged.
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).
If needed, an exploded view of the tool can be ordered.
Please state the machine type printed as well as the six-digit No. on the
label and order the drawing at your local service agents.
