WARNING!
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in
EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase the
exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it
is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running.
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is
running.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable
vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order
to find out the cause.
The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be steady.
Do not let any metal parts enter the airing slots - danger of short
circuit!
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack
or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or
conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals,
and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., Can cause a short
circuit.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18 battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The polisher can be used for polishing lacquers, coatings, plastics
and other smooth surfaces.
Do not use the product in any way other than those stated for
intended use.
RESIDUAL RISK
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible
to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in use and the operator should pay special
attention to avoid the following:
• Injury caused by vibration. Hold the product by designated
handles and restrict working time and exposure.
• Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear protection
and limit exposure.
• Injury due to flying debris. Wear eye protection, heavy long
trousers, gloves and substancial footwear at all times.
• Inhalation of toxic dusts.
NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES
Use of Li-Ion 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.

ENGLISH ENGLISH
Battery protection for Li-Ion batteries
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations
that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5
seconds, the fuel gauge will flash,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 flash until the battery pack cooled
down. After the lights go off, the work may continue.
Transporting Lithium Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation
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.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Always use the handles for proper control. Move the polisher back
and forth in long, sweeping strokes. Too much pressure, the wrong
angle or improper motion may cause swirl marks or burning.
For detailed polishing instructions, read the instructions provided
with the finishes, waxes and polishes.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, follow instructions for
preventing snagging. Snagging may cause the tool to kick back
and the operator to suddenly lose control of the tool. Always use
pommel handle to maintain control.
Preventing Snagging
Snagging occurs when polishing pads get caught on rough edges
of a work surface. Snagging can cause the tool to suddenly "kick
back" and it may cause the pad to burn through the paint. To reduce
the risk of snagging, use the polisher at low speeds when polishing
rough surfaces. For tricky areas such as near trim or between a
mirror and window on a car, do not take chances with a polisher.
Polish these surfaces by hand.
CLEANING
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.
MAINTENANCE
Use only Milwaukee accessories and Milwaukee spare parts. Should
components need to be replaced which have not been described,
please contact one of our Milwaukee service agents (see our list of
guarantee/service addresses).
If needed, an exploded view of the tool can be ordered. Please
state the Article No. as well as the machine type printed on
the label and order the drawing at your local service agents or
directly at: Techtronic Industries GmbH, Max-Eyth-Straße 10,
71364 Winnenden, Germany.
SYMBOLS
Please read the instructions carefully before starting
