Milwaukee Tool 6185-20 Operators Manual - Page 4

•Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel. •Use extra caution when making a "pocketcut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback. Safety Warnings Common for Abrasive Cutting- Off Operations: •This power tool is intended to function as a cut-of tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illus- trations and specifications provided with this pow- er tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. •Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire brushing, or polishing are not recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury. •Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufac- turer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation. •The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled. •The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control. Additional Safety Warnings •Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free 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 filter out microscopic particles. WARNING To reduce inhalation the of risk of injury, avoid dust generated by grinding and cutting operations. Exposure to dust may cause respiratory ailments. Use ap- proved NIOSH or OSHA respirators, safety glasses or face shields, gloves and protective clothing. Provide adequate ventilation to elimi- nate dust, or to maintain dust level below the Threshold Limit Value for nuisance dust as clas- sified by OSHA. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 1. Trigger 2.
