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
