Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, sanding band, brush or
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in
the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation. For
example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched
by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is enter-
ing 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 move-
ment at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may
also break under these conditions. Kickback is the
result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operat-
ing 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 arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. The operator can control kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
• Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the ac-
cessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a
tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause
loss of control or kickback.
• Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
• Always feed the bit into the material in the same
direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the
material (which is the same direction as the chips
are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction
causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the
work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.
• When using rotary files, high-speed cutters or
tungsten carbide cutters, always have the work
securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they
become slightly canted in the groove, and can kick-
back. When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself
usually breaks. When the rotary file, high-speed cut-
ter or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from
the groove and you could lose control of the tool.
Additional Drill Safety Warnings
• Hold 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.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
•Never operate at higher speed than the maxi-
mum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting
in personal injury.
• Always start drilling at low speed and with the
bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
• Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting
in personal injury.
Additional Safety Warnings
• Do not force the power tool or use battery for
leverage. Using the battery for leverage may cause
damage to the battery pack.
• To reduce the risk of injury, when
WARNING
working in dusty situations, wear
appropriate respiratory protection or use an
OSHA compliant dust extraction solution.
• 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 free
replacement.
• Some dust created by power sanding,
WARNING
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 equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
