• Always feed the bit into the material in the
same direction as the cutting edge is exiting
from the material (which is the same direction
as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the
wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit
to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the di-
rection of this feed.
• When using steel saws, cut-off wheels, high
speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, al-
ways have the work securely clamped. These
wheels will grab if they become slightly canted
in the groove, and can kickback. When a cut-off
wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When
the steel saw, high-speed cutters or tungsten car-
bide cutter grab, it may jump from the groove and
you could lose control of the tool.
• Do not position your hand in line with and be-
hind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the
point of operation, is moving away from your hand,
the possible kickback may propel the spinning
wheel and the power tool directly at you.
• Allow brushes to run at operating speed for
at least one minute before using them. During
this time no one is to stand in front or in line
with the brush. Loose bristles or wires will be dis-
charged during the run-in time.
•Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush
away from you. Small particles and tiny wire frag-
ments may be discharged at high velocity during
the use of these brushes and may become imbed-
ded in your skin.

WARNING
plications that produce a consid-
erable amount of dust, use an OSHA compliant
dust extraction solution in accordance with the
solution's operating instructions.
• 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
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.
