Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and 
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
• Use only wheel types that are recommended 

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 to-
wards the operator. The guard helps to protect 
operator from broken wheel fragments and ac-
cidental contact with wheel. 

• 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.

• 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 Abra-
sive Cutting-Off Operations:
• Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply ex-

cessive 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.

• 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 spin-
ning wheel and the power tool directly at you.

• 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 cut-off 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.

• 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 kick-
back. 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, elec-
trical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

Safety Warnings Specifi c for Sanding Operations:
• Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc 

paper. Follow manufacturers recommenda-
tions, when selecting sanding paper. Larger 
sanding paper extending beyond the sanding 
pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause 
snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Safety Warnings Specifi c for Wire Brushing 
Operations:
• Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the 

brush even during ordinary operation. 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 
equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe-
cially designed to fi lter out microscopic particles.

outlet (See Figure A). If the tool should electrically 
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a 
low resistance path to carry electricity away from 
the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
The grounding prong in the plug is connected 
through the green wire inside the cord to the 
grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the 
cord must be the only wire connected to the tool's 
grounding system and must never be attached to an 
electrically "live" terminal.
Your tool must be plugged into 
an appropriate outlet, properly 
installed and grounded in ac-
cordance with all codes and 
ordinances. The plug and outlet 
should look like those in Figure A.

 Improperly connecting the

electric shock. Check with a qualifi ed electri-
cian if you are in doubt as to whether the 
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify 
the plug provided with the tool. Never remove 
the grounding prong from the plug. Do not 
use the tool if the cord or plug is damaged. If 
damaged, have it repaired by a MILWAUKEE 
service facility before use. If the plug will not 
fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by 
a qualifi ed electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
Tools marked "Grounding Required" have a three 
wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The 
plug must be connected to a properly grounded
