Specified Conditions Of Use - Milwaukee M18 CAG115X Manual Original

b) The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels must
be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly
mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip
cannot be adequately protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool
and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount
of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps
to protect the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental
contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications.
For example: do not grind with the side of cut-o wheel.
Abrasive cut-o wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side
forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel anges that are of correct
size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel anges
support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-o wheels may be di erent from grinding wheel
anges.
f) 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 Speci c for Abrasive Cutting-O
Operations:
a) Do not "jam" the cut-o wheel or apply excessive 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.
b) 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 spinning
wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, switch o the power tool and hold the power tool
motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the cut-o 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.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let
the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The
wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in
the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the
risk of wheel pinching and kickback. 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.
f) Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or
water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Speci 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 Speci 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, ying sparks are produced. Take care that
no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of re, no
combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark ight
zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Avoid ying sparks and sanding dust hit your body.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running.
Immediately switch o the machine in case of considerable vibra-
tions or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to
nd out the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with
the arbour and vulcanized bre grinding disk), signi cant
contamination can build up on the inside of the angle grinder. 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.
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is
running.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of re, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery
pack or charger in uid or al-low a uid to ow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive uids, such as seawater, certain industrial
chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., Can
cause a short circuit.
Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18 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.
