• 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 woodcarv-
ing blade or toothed saw blade. Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss
of control.
Safety Warnings Specifi c for Grinding and
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
• Use only wheel types that are rec-
ommended for your power tool and
the specifi c guard designed for the
selected wheel. Wheels for which the
power tool was not designed can not be
adequately guarded and are unsafe.
• 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 operator from
broken wheel fragments and accidental
contact with wheel.
• Wheels must be used only for recom-
mended 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 shat-
ter.
• Always use undamaged wheel fl anges
that are of correct size and shape for
your selected wheel. Proper wheel
fl anges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges
for cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheel fl anges.
• 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.
Additional Safety Warnings Specifi c for
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
• Do not jam the cut-off wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt to
make an excessive depth of cut. Over-
stressing 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 inter-
rupting 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 correc-
tive 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 reenter 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
“pocketcut” into existing walls or other
blind areas. The protruding wheel may
cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring
or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations:
• Do not use excessively oversized sand-
ing disc paper. Follow manufacturers
recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper ex-
tending beyond the sanding pad presents
a laceration hazard and may cause snag-
ging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specifi c for Wire Brush-
ing Operations:
• Be aware that wire bristles are thrown
by the brush even during ordinary op-
eration. Do not over stress 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 workload and
centrifugal forces.

Additional Safety Warnings
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These
carry important information. If unreadable
or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service
facility for a free 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:
• lead 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 equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to fi lter out microscopic
particles.
