OPERATION

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, always 

wear proper eye protection marked 

to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

When working in dusty situations, wear appro-

priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA 

compliant dust extraction solution.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when oper-

ating polisher. They could get caught in moving 

parts causing serious injury. Keep head away 

from polisher and polishing area. Hair could be 

drawn into polisher causing serious injury. 

Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed 

Generally, lower speeds are recommended for tight 

work areas and higher speeds are ideal for large 

surface areas. Use the speed control dial to set the 

maximum speed for the application. 

1. 

Set the speed control dial to the desired maximum 

speed.

2. 

To 

start

 the tool, grasp the handles firmly and pull 

the trigger.  

3. 

To 

vary

 the speed, increase or decrease the 

pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is 

pulled, the greater the speed, up to the speed set 

on the dial.  

4. 

Use the trigger lock to 

LOCK ON

 the tool for continu-

ous use, if desired.

5. 

To 

stop

 the tool, release the trigger. Ensure the 

tool has come to a complete stop before laying 

the tool down.

Polishing 

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 instruc-

tions provided with the finishes, waxes and polishes. 

MAINTENANCE

WARNING

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.

Maintaining Tool 

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 prop

-

erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a 

MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of personal in-

jury and damage, never immerse 

your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or 

allow a liquid to flow inside them.

Cleaning

Clean dust and debris from 

any  vents.  Keep  tool 

clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild

turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
