that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re,
explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or tem-
perature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the specied range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of re.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
CABLE CUTTER
• Keep hands away from all cutting edges and
moving parts. Laceration and amputation can occur.
• To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles
or glasses with side shields when operating or
servicing the tool. Material may crack or shatter.
•
WARNING
To reduce the risk of explosion,
electric shock and property
damage, do not use on live electrical lines.
Tool is NOT insulated. Contact with a live
circuit could result in severe injury or death. Turn
off power before making a cut. Never cut gas or water
lines.
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• 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 sand-
ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other repro-
ductive 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 lter out microscopic particles.
