MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
unplug your tool before performing
any maintenance. Never disassemble
the tool or try to do any rewiring on
the tool's electrical system. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL
repairs.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a
regular maintenance program. Before use,
examine the general condition of your tool.
Inspect guards, switches, tool cord set and
extension cord for damage. Check for loose
screws, misalignment, binding of moving
parts, improper mounting, broken parts and
any other condition that may affect its safe
operation. If abnormal noise or vibration oc-
curs, turn the tool off immediately and have
the problem corrected before further use.
Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged
tools "DO NOT USE" until repaired (see
"Repairs").
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not
necessary until the motor brushes need to
be replaced. After six months to one year,
depending on use, return your tool to the
nearest MILWAUKEE service facility for the
following:
•
Lubrication
•
Brush inspection and replacement
•
Mechanical inspection and cleaning
(gears, spindles, bearings, housing,
etc.)
•
Electrical inspection (switch, cord,
armature, etc.)
•
Testing to assure proper mechanical and
electrical operation
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, electric
shock and damage to the tool, never
immerse your tool in liquid or allow a
liquid to fl ow inside the tool.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep
the tool handles clean, dry and free of oil
or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp
cloth to clean your tool since certain cleaning
agents and solvents are harmful to plastics
and other insulated parts. Some of these
include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner,
paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents con-
taining ammonia. Never use fl ammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool
to the nearest service center.

Others may be hazardous.

FIVE YEAR TOOL LIMITED WARRANTY
Every MILWAUKEE power tool (including cordless product – tool, battery pack(s) and battery
charger and Work Lights – cordless fl ashlights) is warranted to the original purchaser only to
be free from defects in material and workmanship. Subject to certain exceptions, MILWAUKEE
will repair or replace any part on an electric power tool which, after examination, is determined
by MILWAUKEE to be defective in material or workmanship for a period of fi ve (5) years* after
the date of purchase. Return the electric power tool and a copy of proof of purchase to a MIL-
WAUKEE factory Service Center location or MILWAUKEE Authorized Service Station, freight
prepaid and insured. This warranty does not apply to damage that MILWAUKEE determines to
be from repairs made or attempted by anyone other than MILWAUKEE authorized personnel,
misuse, alterations, abuse, normal wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or accidents.
*Every MILWAUKEE V™-technology (V18™ & V28™) LITHIUM-ION Battery Pack and M18

purchase, whichever fi rst occurs. The fi rst 1000 charges or 2 years of the warranty, whichever
fi rst occurs, are covered through free replacement of the defective battery. This means that for
the earlier of the fi rst 1000 charges or two (2) years from the date of purchase/fi rst charge, a
replacement battery will be provided to the customer for any defective battery free of charge.
Thereafter, the remaining charges up to a total of 2000 or the remainder of the fi ve (5) year
period from the date of purchase, whichever fi rst occurs, will be covered on a pro rata basis.

rata warranty on the V™-technology LITHIUM-ION Battery Pack and M18 XC LITHIUM-ION
Battery Pack depending upon the amount of use.
