SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUMPS
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
• Do not operate pump in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating
pump. Distractions will result in mistakes.
• When the size of the service port on the unit is 5/16", use the
supplied different diameter adapter.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• 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 tools to rain. Do not use tools in damp or wet
locations. Water entering the power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the pump or the battery
pack except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• This machine is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance. No person under 16 years of age is allowed to
operate the machine
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating this pump. Do not attempt to operate this
pump while your are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the pump in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep
your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR VACUUM PUMPS
WARNING! This pump generates a deep vaccum that can be
harmful to human tissue. Do not expose any part of the human body
to the vacuum.
• Add oil before initial use. Do not operate pump without oil.
Monitor oil level during use.
• Use oil specifically refined for deep vacuum pumps.
• Avoid contact on skin and clothing with oil.
• After evacuation, drain oil immediately while pump is warm.
Dispose of used oil properly.
The MILWAUKEE M18 FVP5 Vacuum Pump is suitable for use
with systems that utilize A1 or A2L refrigerants provided proper
precautions have been followed. This includes ensuring all
refrigerant has been removed when servicing or evacuating a
system that contains A1 or A2L refrigerants. Due to lower flammable
nature of A2L refrigerants, it is important to ensure users receive
proper technical training prior to handling these refrigerants. Special
licensing or certification may be required before handling flammable
refrigerants. Always follow local, state and/or federal regulations or
guidelines when working on systems containing refrigerants.
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
• 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.
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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance can be used by
children aged from 8 years and above
and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge if they have
been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a
safe way and understand the hazards
involved. Children shall not play with
the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by
children without supervision.
Remove the battery pack before
starting any work on the machine. Do
not dispose of used battery packs in
the household refuse or by burning
them. Milwaukee Distributors offer 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.
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.
• Do not force the pump. Use the correct pump for your
application. The correct pump will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
• Always remove the battery pack any time the tool is not
in use. Always remove battery pack from the pump before
making any adjustments, changing accesories, or storing
appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally.
• Store idle pump out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the pump or these instructions
to operate the pump. Pumps are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain pump and accessories. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the pump's operation. If damaged,
have the pump repaired before use. Accidents can be caused
by a poorly maintained pump.
• Only use accessories specifically recommended for this tool.
Others may be hazardous. Use the pump and accessories
etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the pump for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surface do
not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
• When the size of the service port on the unit is 5/16", use the
supplied different diameter adapter.
Manifold mode
• When using a manifold, turn ON Manifold mode for best
performance.
Low Battery mode
• When battery capacity reaches 5 minutes of runtime remaining,
the pump will enter low battery mode. The Low Battery LED will
light and a buzzer will sound. The pump will reduce in speed to
converse runtime and maintain vacuum. Replace battery.
Thermal Overload
• If Power button LED begins blinking, the tool has entered thermal
overload protection and cannot be restarted until the pump has
cooled down.
Selecting Hoses
• For best performance, use vacuum rated hoses directly
connected to the pump that are as short and of the widest
diameter possible. Inspect hoses before operation and replace if
worn. When using a manifold, a 4-port manifold is recommended.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
Vacuum pump for air evacuation of closed systems (air
conditioners, tanks, etc). This equipment is specially designed for
HVAC & R systems.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.
BATTERIES
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 pump only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of
any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of
the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk
of overheating).
Do not expose a battery pack or pump to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F (130°C)
may cause explosion.
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
