Using the Milwaukee 2872 - 20 threaded rod cutter is quite straightforward. First, make sure your M18™ REDLITHIUM™ 2.0Ah Battery is fully charged and inserted properly. Select the appropriate cutting die for the size of the threaded rod you're working with. You can easily change the dies using the Allen key stored on the tool. Place the rod in the cutter and position it correctly. For overhead cuts, hold the tool by the centered grip for better balance. For benchtop cuts, use the flat horizontal design for stability. Then, start the cutter and let the auto jaw opening do its job for fast, repeated cuts. If you make a mistake or want to stop an unintended cut, press the reverse button. When it comes to maintenance, keep the cutter clean after each use. Wipe off any debris or dust. Check the cutting dies regularly for wear and tear. If they're worn out, replace them promptly. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent rust and damage. And always follow the safety instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure a long - lasting and safe use of your rod cutter.
