To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand operator’s manual.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
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.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
- Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
- If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of a RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
-
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
-
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection marked to comply with AS/NZS 1337.1. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
-
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fingers on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
-
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury. -
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
-
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
-
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
-
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
-
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
-
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. -
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/ or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
-
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
-
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
-
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
-
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazard-ous situation.
-
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
- Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
- Use power tools only with specially designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
- When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
- Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
- Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
- Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause explosion
- Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damaged the battery and increase the risk of fire.
SERVICE

- Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorised service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR GRINDERS
-
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Wire Brushing or Cutting-Off Operations:
-
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, wire brush, hole cutter 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 sanding or polishing are not 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 convert this power tool to operate in a way which is not specfically designed and specified by the tool manufacturer. Such a conversion may result in a loss of control and cause serious personal injury.
-
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and specified 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. 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 can-not be adequately guarded or controlled.
-
The dimensions of the accessory mounting must fit the dimensions of the mounting hardware of the power tool. Accessories that do not match the mount-ing hardware 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 undam-aged 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 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 applications. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by the particular application. 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 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 tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
-
Never lay the power tool down until the acces-sory 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 cool-ants. 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 acces-sory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncon-trolled 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 in-correct operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. -
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and posi-tion your body and arms 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 acces-sory. 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, segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control. Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Cutting-Off Operations:
-
Use only wheel types that are specified 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 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 specified applica-tions. 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. A wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst. -When using dual purpose wheels always use the correct guard for the application being per-formed. Failure to use the correct guard may not provide the desired level of guarding, which could lead to serious injury.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Cutting-Off Operations:
- 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 pos-sible 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 it 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 work-piece. Let the wheel reach full speed and care-fully 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 pro-truding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
- Do not attempt to do curved cutting. 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, which can lead to serious injury. Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Op-erations:
- 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 Warnings
Warnings To reduce the risk of injury, when working in dusty situations, wear appropriate respiratory protection or use a suitable dust extraction solution.
-
Always operate with two hands.
-
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 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: -
Iead 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.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY RULES
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,

Use grinding wheels, and accessories that are:
- correct size as written on tool’s nameplate.
- rated at or above the RPM listed on the tool’s name-plate.
- correct accessory, wheel type and grit for the job.
Grinding is the cutting action of thousands of abrasive grains on the face of a grinding wheel. When grinding metals such as steel and iron, choose an aluminium oxide grinding wheel. Select a silicon carbide grinding wheel for stone and concrete. Use cotton reinforced wheels for non-ferrous metals.
Type 1 reinforced 3.0 mm (1/8″) thick or less Cut-Off Wheels are suited for small cut-off and shallow notching operations only. Always handle wheels carefully to avoid damage. Before installing any wheel, always inspect it for cracks. If wheel is cracked, discard it to prevent others from using it.
Care of Grinding & Cut-Off Wheels
Grinding/cut-off wheels should be protected from:
- wetness and extreme humidity
- any type of solvent
- extreme changes in temperature
- dropping and bumping Grinding and cut-off wheels should be stored:
- in an organised way so wheels can be removed without disturbing or damaging other wheels
- with their safety information Grinding and cut-off wheels should NOT be dropped, rolled or bumped.
Discard wheels that have been dropped, rolled, bumped, subjected to extreme changes in tempera-ture, or come into contact with solvents or wetness.
WARNING Only use accessories with Maxi-mum Safe Operating Speed rated at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. This speed is based on the strength of the wheel, allowing for a reasonable measure of safety. It is not meant to imply a best or most efficient operating speed. Do not exceed the Maximum Safe Operating Speed.

General Operation
-
If you have just installed an accessory or are be-ginning a period of work, test the wheel by letting it spin for one minute before applying it to the work-piece.
Warning Never use a accessory that has been dropped. Out-of-balance or damaged accessories can mar workpiece, damage the tool, and cause stress that may cause accessory failure. -
Use a clamp, vise or other practical means to hold the workpiece, freeing both hands to control the tool.
-
Warning Hold tool securely with both hands. Start the tool. NOTE: If the battery is inserted when the tool is ON, the tool will not run. Turn the tool OFF, then back ON to begin work.
-
Allow accessory to come to full speed before beginning work.
-
Control pressure and surface contact between ac-cessory and workpiece. Warning Never bang accessory onto work. Too much pressure causes accessory failure or slows speed.
-
When finished, turn off the tool and make sure it comes to a complete stop before laying it down.
Using Grinding Wheels
Warning The guard type must match the wheel type to provide maximum protection for the operator if the wheel should break.
When grinding, hold tool at a 5° to 15° angle, using constant pressure for a
uniform finish. Too great an angle causes concentrated pressure on small areas
which may gouge or burn work surface.
Using Cut-Off Wheels
Cut-Off Wheels are suited for small cut-off and shal-low notching operations
only.
WARNING The guard type must match the wheel type to provide maximum protection for the operator if the wheel should break. When using a cut-off wheel, hold the tool as shown, using only the edge of the wheel.
WARNING Using the face of a Cut-Off Wheel (as in grinding) will cause the
Wheel to crack and break, resulting in serious personal injury.
Using Wire Brushes
Wire brushes are useful for removing rust, scale, burrs. weld slag, etc.
Everyone in the area must wear protective clothing and safety goggles or
face shields marked to comply with AS/NZS 1337.1. Fatigued wires and residue
will fly off the brush with considerable force, causing potential for serious
injury. Never exceed Maximum Safe Operating Speed of brush. Do not use a
damaged brush or one that is functioning improperly (throwing wires, out-of-
balance, etc.). These conditions increase the possibility of further brush
failure and possible injury. Discard and replace damaged brushes immediately.
A Type “27” guard must be installed when using a wire wheel brush to provide
maximum protection for the operator when fatigued wires break.
(See “Removing/Installing/Adjusting the guard”.)
Always install wire brushes according to the accessory manufacturer’s
instructions. Only use accessories with threads matching the tool spindle.
Test wheel for balance and loose or damaged wires by letting it spin for one
minute before applying it to the workpiece. During this time, no one should
stand in front of or in line with it.
Control pressure and surface contact between wheel and workpiece. Too much
pressure causes over-bending of wires and heat build-up causing premature wire
breaking, rapid dulling and reduced brush life. Instead of more pressure, try
a wire wheel with more aggressive cutting action (increased wire size,
decreased wire length or different brush type (knot type vs. crimped wire
type).
Troubleshooting
Deep scratches and circular marks can result from:
- Using too coarse a grit
- Using a partially glazed disc
- Dirt or loose metal on the workpiece
- allure to sand across the grain when changing from coarse to finishing discs
- ailure to use closed coated discs to reduce the problem of grains working loose and scratching the workpiece Bluish discolouration of metal surface indicates:
- Excessive heatcaused by circular motion in a small area
- Excessive pressure
- Use of worn out or glazed discs
