WARNING
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN
62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for diff erent
applications, with diff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may diff er. This may signifi cantly increase the
exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eff ects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifi cations provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
CORDLESS EXPANDER SAFETY WARNINGS
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not change the properties or shape of the tool. It is particulary
important not to change the shape or size of the cone by machining
it or by altering its original properties, hardness, strenght, etc. by
heating the tool or keeping it in the vicinity of high temperature heat
sources
Use the tool correctly. Take particular care to tighten the expander
head onto the tool in order to achieve full expansion. Make sure the
segments of the expander head are not bend or damaged otherwise.
Never use, carry or put away the tool without a expander head on it.
Keep fi ngers and hands away from the expander head moving area.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the machine.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by

protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
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.
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 This device contains a lithium button/coin cell
battery. A new or used battery can cause severe internal
burns and lead to death in as little as 2 hours if swal lowed or
enters the body. Always secure the battery cover. If it does not close
securely, stop using the device, remove the batteries, and keep it
away from children. If you think batteries may have been swallowed
or entered the body, seek immediate 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.

NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES
Use of Li-Ion 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 protection for Li-Ion Akkus
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the
battery pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge
will fl ash until the battery pack cooled down. After the lights go off ,
the work may continue.
Transport of 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.
Check with forwarding company for further advice
CHECK INSTALLATION OF EXPANDER HEAD
The expander head must fi t tightly against the tool.
Ensure the head segments do not "fl ower".
Rotate the six expander segments in the clockwise direction. The
head will rotate freely. The head should not rotate counterclockwise.
The expander head collar will fi t fl ush against the tool.
Correct installation by loosening the head slightly and rotating the
segments until they engage in the cogs. Re-tighten the head..
ADVICE FOR OPERATION
Quick and Easy (Q&E) is a fi tting concept for Uponor-PEX pipes
and systems. The joint is made gradually expanding the pipe with a
Q&E Ring fi tted to its outside, and then allowing it to shrink over the
fi tting nipple. Only genuine Q&E fi ttings, rings and expander tools
may be used.
After expanding push immediately the expanded pipe and ring over
the nipple. If the pipe already be shrunk back, do not expand again,
but cut the expanded part.
The expansion is done in several stages. This is clearly audible
the "click" upon contraction of the expander head. The number of
expansions is depend by the pipe diameter.
For detailed instructions on the correct use of this machine with
Uponor Q&E piping components, please refer to the separate user
guide included with this machine.
Do not expand more times than necessary.
Each time the segments contract the expander head has to rotate
1/8 turn.
This rotation prevents a too deep incision of the expander into the
inner side of the pipe.
If the expander not rotating the piping may cause deep grooves
and faulty connections, which could result in leaking and property
damage.
Milwaukee expander heads will rotate automatically at each
expansion. This is checked from time to time without pipe.
Uponor Standard expander heads will not rotate automatically. It is
necessary to rotate the pipe 1/8 turn by hand.
