BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time
should be recharged before use.
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).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept
clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully
charged, after used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery
pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C
and away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
The battery pack has overload protection that protects it
from being overloaded and helps to ensure long life.
Under extreme stress the battery electronics switch off the
machine automatically. To restart, switch the machine off
and then on again. If the machine does not start up again,
the battery pack may have discharged completely. In this
case it must be recharged in the battery charger.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods
Legislation requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in
accordance with local, national and international provisions
and regulations.
• The user can transport the batteries by road without
further requirements.
• Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third
parties is subject to Dangerous Goods regulations.
Transport preparation and transport are exclusively to be
carried out by appropriately trained persons and the
process has to be accompanied by corresponding experts.
When transporting batteries:
• Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and
insulated to prevent short circuit.
• Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement
within packaging.
• Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.

Safety Warnings Specifi c for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, 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:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the
wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) 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 work load and centrifugal forces.
Additional Safety and Working Instructions
When grinding metal, fl ying sparks are produced. Take care
that no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of
fi re, no combustible materials should be located in the
vicinity (spark fl ight zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Avoid fl ying sparks and sanding dust hit your body.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is
running.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable
vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine
in order to fi nd out the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with
the arbour and vulcanized fi bre grinding disk), signifi cant
contamination can build up on the inside of the angle grinder
(metal residue/deposits). For safety reasons, in such
conditions a ground fault interrupter must be connected in
series. If the ground fault interrupter trips the machine must
be sent for service.
Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the
machine is running.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household
refuse or by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors off er to
retrieve old batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects
(short circuit risk).
Use only System C 18 chargers for charging System C 18
battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store
only in dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.
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.
Warning! To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and
product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in fl uid or allow a fl uid to fl ow
inside them. Corrosive or conductive fl uids, such as
seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach
containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
