WARNING
The vibration and noise 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 and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for diff erent
applications, with diff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may diff er. This may signifi cantly
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 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/or noise such as: maintain the tool and
the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of 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.

CUT-OFF MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS

a) The guard provided with the tool must be securely
attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed
towards the operator. Position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard
helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and
accidental contact with wheel.
b) Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut-off wheels
for your power tool. Just because an accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
c) 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 fl y apart.

d) 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.
e) Always use undamaged wheel fl anges that are of
correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper wheel
fl anges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of
wheel breakage.
f) Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larger
power tools. Wheels intended for a larger power tool are
not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.
g) 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.
h) The arbour size of wheels and fl anges must properly fi t
the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and fl anges with
arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of
the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively
and may cause loss of control.
i) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use, inspect
the wheels for chips and cracks. If power tool or wheel
is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged
wheel. After inspecting and installing the wheel,
position yourself and bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating wheel and run the power tool at
maximum no load speed for one minute. Damaged
wheels will normally break apart during this test time.
j) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye
protection must be cap- able of stopping fl ying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of fi ltrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
k) 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 wheel may fl y away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
l) 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.
m) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop. The spinning wheel may grab
the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
n) 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.
o) 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.
p) Do not operate the power tool near fl ammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling
of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled
power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the
wheel'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.
a) Maintain a fi rm 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.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in line with the rotating
wheel. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to
the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Do not jam the 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.
g) 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 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.
h) 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.
i) 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.
j) 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.
Additional Safety and Working Instructions
When grinding metal, fl ying sparks are produced. Take care
that no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fi re,
no combustible materials should be located in the vicinity
(spark fl ight zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Avoid fl ying 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
vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in
order to fi nd out the cause.
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.
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 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 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.
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 fl uid or allow a fl uid to fl ow inside them.
