Removing Welds or Hammer Marks -
When remov-
ing welds or hammer marks, limit coarse sanding to
smooth surface.
Finishing Metal -
Constantly move across the sur-
face. Work faster on curved surfaces where contact
areas are smaller and pressure is greater. Flat areas
may appear at the end of the stroke when pressure
is too heavy. Ease up on pressure at end of each
stroke and when reversing strokes.
Troubleshooting
Deep scratches and circular marks can result from:
• Using too coarse a grit
• Using a partially glazed disc
• Dirt or loose metal on the workpiece
• Failure to sand across the grain when changing from
• Failure to use closed coated discs to reduce the
problem of grains working loose and scratching the
workpiece
Bluish discoloration of metal surface indicates:
• Excessive heat caused by circular motion in a small area
• Excessive pressure
• Use of worn out or glazed discs

WARNING
Use only recommended accesso-
ries. Others may be hazardous.

Using Sanding Discs
Hold tool at 5
o
to 15
o
angle to ensure proper sanding
pressure and control. Too great an angle will result
in too much pressure and could cause excessive
wear to the disc and workpiece. Too small an angle
will reduce control.
Use long, sweeping, side to side strokes, advancing
For best result use only this portion of disc
Hold at a
5° to 15° angle
Cross Sanding -
has been prepared by a coarse disc or wheel, sand
at right angles to the strokes made by the coarser
disc. Finishing marks left from previous sanding are
to cross sand when changing from a coarse disc to
circular marks.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal in-
Maintaining Tool
jury and damage, never immerse
your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or
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-
combustible solvents around tools.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger
to the nearest authorised service centre.
To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug the charger and
remove the battery pack from the charger or
tool before performing any maintenance. Never
disassemble the tool, battery pack or charger.
Contact a
MILWAUKEE
®
service facility for ALL
repairs.
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger 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 condition that may affect the
tool operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and
charger to a
MILWAUKEE
®
service facility for repair.
After six months to one year, depending on use,
return the tool, battery pack and charger to a
MILWAUKEE
®
service facility for inspection.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with
a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on
the battery pack. If the tool still does not work
properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack,
to a
MILWAUKEE
®
service facility for repairs.
Test wheel for balance and loose or damaged wires
by letting it spin for one minute before applying it to
the workpiece. During this time, no one should stand
in front of or in line with it.
Control pressure and surface contact between
wheel and workpiece. Too much pressure causes
over-bending of wires and heat build-up causing
premature wire breaking, rapid dulling and reduced
brush life. Instead of more pressure, try a wire wheel
with more aggressive cutting action (increased wire
(knot type vs. crimped wire type).
