WARNING
To reduce the risk of fi re
and explosion, paint solvents and varnish
removers must be removed from the work-
piece and the workpiece must be completely
dry before sanding.
WARNING
Collected sanding dust
from sanding surface coatings such as poly-
urethanes, linseed oil, etc. can self-ignite in
the sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause
fi re. To reduce the risk of fi re always empty
the dust bag frequently (10-15 minutes) while
sanding and never store or leave a sander
without totally emptying its dust bag. Also
follow the recommendations of the coatings
manufacturers.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. Before use, examine the
general condition of your tool. Inspect guards,
switches, tool cord set and extension cord for
damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment,
binding of moving parts, improper mounting, bro-
ken parts and any other condition that may affect
its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration
occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the
problem corrected before further use. Do not use a
damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE”
until repaired (see “Repairs”).
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not neces-
sary until the motor brushes need to be replaced.
After six months to one year, depending on use,
return your tool to the nearest
MILWAUKEE
service
facility for the following:
• Lubrication
• Brush inspection and replacement
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears,
spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electri-
cal operation
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, always unplug your tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disas-
semble the tool or try to do any rewiring
on the tool’s electrical system. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
ACCESSORIES
For a complete listing of accessories refer to your
MILWAUKEE
Electric Tool catalog or go on-line
to www.milwaukeetool.com. To obtain a catalog,
contact your local distributor or a service center.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug the tool before attaching or
removing accessories. Use only specifi cally
recommended accessories. Others may be
hazardous.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
electric shock and damage to the tool, never
immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid
to fl ow inside the tool.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool
handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use
only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your tool
since certain cleaning agents and solvents are
harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some
of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thin-
ner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use fl ammable or combustible
solvents around tools.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the
nearest service center.
3. Select a coarse grit sandpaper disc to help pre-
vent the sandpaper from clogging.
4. Keep the sander moving over new areas to avoid
heating and softening the old coating (paint or
varnish).
5. Work in wide, overlapping strokes to produce a
uniform fi nish.
6. As the workpiece begins to show through the old
coating, switch to a medium grit sandpaper disc
to avoid scratching the surface of the workpiece.
Gradually switch to a fi ne grit sandpaper until
you achieve the desired fi nish.
Emptying the Dust Bag
For more effi cient operation, empty the dust bag
when it is no more than half full. This will permit the
air to fl ow through the bag better. Always empty
and clean the dust bag thoroughly upon comple-
tion of a sanding operation and before placing the
sander in storage.
To empty the dust bag:
1. Unplug the sander.
2. Remove the dust bag from the sander.
3. Shake out the dust.
4. Reattach the dust bag to the sander.
