Blade thrust causes and related warnings:
• Blade thrust is a sudden sideways, forward or
backward motion of the machine, which may occur
when the blade jams or catches on an object such as
a sapling or a tree stump. It can be violent enough to
cause the machine and/or operator to be propelled
in any direction, and possibly lose control of the
machine.
• Blade thrust and its related hazards can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below.
• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the
machine and position your arms to resist blade
thrust. Position your body to the left side of the
machine. Blade thrust can increase the risk of injury
due to the machine moving unexpectedly. Blade
thrust can be controlled by the operator if proper
precautions are taken.
• If the blade binds, or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch the machine off and hold
the machine motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop. While the blade
is binding, never attempt to remove the machine
from the material or pull the machine backward
while the blade is in motion, otherwise blade
thrust may occur. Investigate and take corrective
actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
• Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Blunt or
damaged blades increase the risk of jamming or
catching on an object, resulting in blade thrust.
• Always maintain good visibility of the material
being cut. Blade thrust is more likely to occur in
areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut.
• If you are approached by another person while
operating the machine, switch the machine off.
There is an increased risk of injury to other persons
being struck by the moving blade in the event of
blade thrust.
Other brush cutter safety rules:
• Before use, read this manual, and all manuals and
labels of this tool and its power head. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result
in serious injury. Use tool only as described in
this manual. Use only attachments recommended
by MILWAUKEE.
•
Do not operate near electric
WARNING
power lines. The unit has not been
designed to provide protection from electric
shock in the event of contact with electric
power lines. Consult local regulations for safe
distances from electric power lines and ensure
that the operating position is safe and secure
before use.
• Do not use an attachment extension with this
tool attachment. The additional length will make
this attachment difficult to control and could
cause injury.
• Use the shoulder strap to reduce user fatigue
and help in maintaining control of the tool dur-
ing use.
• Do not wear multiple shoulder straps simultane-
ously. When wearing a shoulder strap, ensure
that no other wearable interferes with the release
and removal of the strap.
• Do not use the tool near anything that is burning or
smoking such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
•To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors
or dust, do not use tool near toxic, carcinogenic
or other hazardous materials such as asbestos,
arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other
health endangering materials.
•Use care when using around decorative plants
and other obstacles. Accessories will cut/damage
many materials.
• Do not operate the tool without the guard in
place. The guard must be attached properly
during use. Operating the tool without the guard
will cause serious injury.
• Do not use tool with a damaged cutter head.
Cracked or broken pieces can be thrown.
•Do not operate the tool without the front handle
and hip barrier in place. The front handle must
be attached properly during use. Use both
hands when operating the tool, according to the
attachment instructions. Maintain a firm grip.
Using one hand could cause loss of control and
result in serious injury.
•Do not use the tool as an edger. Do not tilt tool
to create a right angle to the ground. Keep brush
cutter head parallel to the ground. Guard cannot
protect against flying debris in this orientation.
•Keep face, hands and feet clear of moving parts at
all times. Moving parts can cause severe lacerations.
•Brace for unexpected movement when contact
is made with a hard object. Loss of control could
result in serious injury.
• Thrown objects may ricochet off of hard surfaces,
such as walls, trees, and rocks and cause injury.
When possible, do cutting by hand in closed in areas.
• Carry the tool by the front handle to avoid ac-
cidental starting. Proper handling of the tool will
prevent injury.
• Always turn off the tool when transporting from
one location to another. Do not carry tool with finger
on the trigger. Accidental starting can cause serious
personal injury.
• Do not immerse in water or spray with a hose. Do
not clean with a pressure washer. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Store tool indoors.
• Do not store the power tool on or near to fertilizers
or chemicals.
• Always turn off the tool and then remove battery
pack before changing or removing accessories.
• 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.

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.
