WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised 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 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 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 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 such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
SAFETY 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.
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 M18 chargers for charging 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

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 PACK PROTECTION LI-ION BATTERY
The battery pack has overload protection that protects it
from being overloaded and helps to ensure long life.
Under extreme stress the battery electronics switch off the
machine automatically. To restart, switch the machine off
and then on again. If the machine does not start up again,
the battery pack may have discharged completely. In this
case it must be recharged in the battery charger.
TRANSPORTING 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.

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.
Typically:
16 x 1.8 mm - 4 expandings
20 x 1.9 mm - 6 expandings
25 x 2.3 mm - 8 expandings
16 x 2.2 mm - 6 expandings
20 x 2.8 mm - 12 expandings
25 x 3.5 mm - 20 expandings
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.
COLD WEATHER INSTALLATION
At low temperatures it takes longer for the pipe to shrink
onto the nippel and seal proberly.
Depending on pipe size, fewer expansions are necessary in
cold temperatures.
The tool with battery must be warmed up before operating in
temperatures below 5°C by doing some cycles without pipe.
TIGHTNESS TESTING
The fi tting joint can be pressurized after 30 minutes at
temperatures down to +5°C.
At lower temperature increases the waiting time as follows:
+ 5°C... 0°C: 1,5 h
0°C...- 5°C: 3 h
- 5°C...-10°C: 4 h
-10°C...-15°C: 10 h
At room temperature, the joint will be as strong as the pipe
itself after, within 6 and 24 hours.
Tightness testing in accordance with the relevant standards
(ANV 12108) shall be carried out before the system is taken
into operation.
MAINTENANCE
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all
times.
Use the supplied grease tube to lubricant the Q&E expander
heads.
Daily or at least every 100 connections, clean the cone of
the tool and lubricate the cone. Use a clean, lint-free cloth to
apply a thin coat of lubricant (Molycote G-n plus) to the
expander cone. Keep all other parts of the tool free from
lubricant.
When using Uponor Standard expander heads extra grease
needs to be applied in interface between the tool and the
expander head.
Regularly clean the inside of the expander heads using a
dry cloth. Avoid any build-up grease in between the
segments. It is essential to keep the outside of the
segments free from grease and dry.
Improper lubrication (too much, or too little) may result in
faulty connections, which could result in property damage.
Use only Uponor approved expander heads.
Use only Milwaukee accessories and Milwaukee spare
parts. Should components need to be replaced which have
not been described, please contact one of our Milwaukee
service agents (see our list of guarantee/service addresses).
