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
PIPE THREADER
• Always use the support device provided with the
tool. Loss of control during operation can result in
personal injury.
• Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned while operat
-
ing the tool. Do not reach across the tool or pipe.
Clothing can be caught by the pipe or the tool resulting
in entanglement.
• Only one person must control the work process
and tool operation. Additional people involved in
the process may result in unintended operation and
personal injury.
• Keep oors dry and free of slippery materials such
as oil. Slippery oors invite accidents.
• When threading or backing die head o󰀨 pipe,
rmly hold the tool to resist forces regardless
of support device used. This will reduce the risk of
striking, crushing and other injuries.
• Do not use dies that are showing signs of wear,
dull, or damaged. Sharp cutting tools require less
torque and the tool is easier to control.
• Only use Ridgid
®
12-R or R12+ series or equivalent
die heads. Other die heads may not t correctly in
the tool increasing the risk of equipment damage and
personal injury.
• Do not store die heads in tool to prevent metal on
metal wear.
• 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.

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 specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.
