SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
STRUT SHEARS
• Do not use tool without dies installed. Fingers
could be crushed.
• Keep hands away from clevis and dies while
tool is in use. Fingers could be crushed, fractured,
or amputated.
• Always wear proper eye protection with side
shields, marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when
operating the strut shear.
• Wear gloves when handling steel work pieces
to prevent possible injury from sharp edges.
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
• Inspect and discard workpieces with cracks or
wear before use.
• Use tool only with MILWAUKEE dies for which
they are rated. Improper combinations can result
in a faulty shear.
• Large forces are generated during product use
that can break or throw parts and cause injury.
Stand clear during use and wear appropriate protec-
tive equipment, including eye protection.
•
Only use the strut shear head to
WARNING
cut material for which the head/
dies are designed. Do not shear stainless steel.
Cutting improper material may damage the shear
head or result in serious personal injury.
• Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep coin cell battery
away from children.
• 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 im-
portant information. If unreadable or missing, contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
•
Some dust created by power sanding,
WARNING
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
filter out microscopic particles.
