Noise information:
Measured values determined according to EN 60745.
Typically, the A-weighted noise levels of the tool are:
Sound pressure level / Uncertainty K
Sound power level / Uncertainty K
Always wear ear protectors!

WARNING!
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized
test given in EN 60745 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.
BAND SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a „live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool „live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Always place the guide shoe on the workpiece when sawing.
Do not start the blade when in contact with workpiece. Wait
for blade to reach full speed before beginning cut.
When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, release the trigger and hold the cutter motionless in
the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never
restart the machine when the blade in contact with workpiece.
Do not use cracked or distorted saw blades.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when
working with the machine. The use of protective clothing is
recommended, such as dust mask, protective gloves, sturdy
non-slip footwear, helmet and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to
health. Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection
mask.
Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health
(e.g. asbestos).
Switch the device off immediately if the insertion tool stalls!
Do not switch the device on again while the insertion tool is
stalled, as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high
reactive force. Determine why the insertion tool stalled and
rectify this, paying heed to the safety instructions.
The possible causes may be:
• it is tilted in the workpiece to be machined
• it has pierced through the material to be machined
• the power tool is overloaded
Do not reach into the machine while it is running.
The insertion tool may become hot during use.
WARNING! Danger of burns
• when changing tools
• when setting the device down
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine
is running.
When working in walls ceiling, or fl oor, take care to avoid
electric cables and gas or waterpipes.
Clamp your workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped
ENGLISH
workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the
machine.
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).
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of
the charger (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! 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.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The Band Saw cuts lengthways and mitre accurately in
diff erent type of metals such as metal profi les (UniStrut),
pipes, metal studs, channels, aluminium profi les, metal
sheets.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal
use.
RESIDUAL RISK
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise in use and the
operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:
• Injury caused by vibration
Hold the product by designated handles and restrict
working time and exposure.
• Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury.
Wear ear protection and limit exposure.
• Injury due to fl ying debris
Wear eye protection, heavy long trousers, gloves and
substancial footwear at all times.
• Inhalation of toxic dusts.
NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES
Use of Li-Ion batteries
Batteries 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. 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 batteries 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 storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery where the temperature is below 27°C and
away from moisture
Store the battery in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the battery as normal.
Battery protection for Li-Ion batteries
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit
situations that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for
about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge will fl ash,and then the tool
will turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the
battery could become too high. If this happens, the fuel gauge
will fl ash and the battery pack cool and then continue work.
Transport of Li-Ion 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.
