Additional Safety And Working Instructions - Milwaukee M18 FPFT Notice Originale

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR FISH TAPE
Do not use on or near live circuits When working near elec-
trical equipment, use extreme caution. When pulling through
conduit which contains any other wires, be certain that power to
those wires has been turned o or disconnected.
Maintain proper footing and balance when performing
pulling operations. Do not pull from a ladder. If a snag or
resistance is encountered, a ladder could become unstable which
may result in a loss of balance or control.
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.
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 ventila-
ted area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic
particles.
Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service
facility for a free replacement.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when
working with the machine. The use of protective clothing is recom-
mended, such as dust mask, protective gloves, sturdy non-slip
footwear, helmet and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health.
Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health (e.g.
asbestos).
Switch the device o immediately if the insertion tool stalls! Do
not switch the device on again while the insertion tool is stalled,
as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force.
Determine why the insertion tool stalled and rectify this, paying
heed to the safety instructions.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the
appliance.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or
by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors o er to retrieve old
batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load
or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash
it o immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse
thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical
attention.
To reduce the risk of re, personal injury, and product damage due
to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger
in uid or allow a uid to ow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive uids, such as seawater, certain industrial
chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., Can
cause a short circuit.
Use only System M18 chargers for charging System 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.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The sh tape is an ideal tool to be used to route wiring through
walls and electrical conduit.
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 use.
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.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legisla-
tion 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. Check with forwarding company for further advice
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situa-
tions that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5
seconds, the fuel gauge will ash,and then the tool will turn OFF.
To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the
battery pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge
will ash until the battery pack cooled down. After the lights go o ,
the work may continue.
Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.
ADDITIONAL HINTS FOR OPERATION
Support sh tape during use.
For normal operation see picture section.
While extending, monitor the sh tape. When nearing full exten-
sion, the sh tape will be marked with yellow paint.
