WARNING
Properly secure workpiece before
sanding. Unsecured work could be
thrown towards the operator causing injury.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when op-
erating sander. They could get caught in moving
parts causing serious injury. Keep head away
from sander and sanding area. Hair could be
drawn into sander causing serious injury.
1.
Place sander on the workpiece and turn on the
sander.
2. Keep the sanding disc flat against the workpiece,
keep the sander moving across the workpiece,
and use long, sweeping strokes.
3.
Begin sanding with a coarse grit sandpaper and
gradually use finer and finer grits of sandpaper un
-
til the desired finish is reached. For example when
using the sander on wood, begin with an 80 grit
followed by a 120 grit, then a 180 grit and so on.
Removing Paint or Varnish
1.
When removing several layers of paint or varnish,
remove as much as possible with a paint solvent
or varnish remover.
2.
Scrape away the residue with a putty knife or other
scraping tool and allow the surface to cool and dry
before applying sander to the workpiece.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and explo
-
sion, paint solvents and varnish
removers must be removed from the workpiece
and the workpiece must be completely dry before
sanding.
3.
Select a coarse grit sandpaper disc to help prevent
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 finish.
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 fine grit sandpaper until you
achieve the desired finish.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
unplug the tool before performing
any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool.
Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL
repairs.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. Inspect your tool for issues
such as undue noise, misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, or any other condi-
tion that may affect the tool operation. Return the tool
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool to a MILWAUKEE service facility for inspection.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal in-
jury, electric shock and damage,
never immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid
to flow inside it.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep handles
clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild
soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain clean-
ing agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline,
turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.

For repairs, return the tool to the nearest service
center.
