Removing Welds or Hammer Marks -
When remov-
ing welds or hammer marks, limit coarse sanding to
the immediate area. Use successively finer grits 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
coarse to finishing discs
• 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
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 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.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger
to the nearest authorized service center.
