SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR

RATCHETS

·Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the fastener

may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a

“live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power

tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

·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 replacement.

WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, 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
