GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or
serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
WORK AREA SAFETY
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. W ater entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your fi nger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair , clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Safety Warnings Common for Polishing Operations:
• This power tool is intended to function as a
polisher. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifi cations provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instruc-
tions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re
and/or serious injury.
• Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire
brushing or cutting-off are not recommended
to be performed with this power tool. Opera-
tions for which the power tool was not designed
may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
• Do not use accessories which are not specifi -
cally designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can
be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
• The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than
their rated speed can break and fl y apart.
• The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating
of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
• The arbour size of wheels, fl anges, backing
pads or any other accessory must properly
fi t the spindle of the power tool. Accessories
with arbour holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
• Do not use a damaged accessory . Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for
cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install
an undamaged accessory. After inspecting
and installing an accessory, position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating accessory and run the power tool
at maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
•
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate,
wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and work shop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The
eye protection must be capable of stopping
fl ying debris generated by various operations.
The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
fi ltrating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fl y away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a
live wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool live and shock the operator.
• Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-
sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning accessory.
• Never lay the power tool down until the ac-
cessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
• Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
• Regularly clean the power tool’ s air vents. The
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.
• Do not operate the power tool near fl ammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in
the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation
at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into
the surface of the material causing the wheel to
climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of
pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under
these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
• Maintain a fi rm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
• Never place your hand near the rotating acces-
sory. Accessory may kick back over your hand.
• Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to
the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
3
• Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing
have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory
and cause loss of control or kickback.
• Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specifi c for Polishing Opera-
tions:
• Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing
bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely.
Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings.
Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle your fi ngers or snag on the workpiece.
Additional Safety Warnings
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
• WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Y our risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to fi lter out microscopic particles.

GROUNDING
WARNING Improperly connecting the
grounding wire can result in the risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualifi ed electri-
cian if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the tool. Never remove
the grounding prong from the plug. Do not
use the tool if the cord or plug is damaged. If
damaged, have it repaired by a MILWAUKEE
service facility before use. If the plug will not
fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualifi ed electrician.
Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
Tools marked “Grounding Required” have a three
wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The
plug must be connected to a properly grounded
outlet (See Figure A). If the tool should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity away from
the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
The grounding prong in the plug is connected
through the green wire inside the cord to the
grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the
cord must be the only wire connected to the tool's
grounding system and must never be attached to
an electrically “live” terminal.
Y our tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances.
The plug and outlet should look
like those in Figure A.
Double Insulated Tools:
Tools with Two Prong Plugs
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require
grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfi es OSHA requirements
and complies with the applicable standards of
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.,
the Canadian Standard Association and the National Electrical Code. Double Insulated
tools may be used in either of
the 120 volt outlets shown in
Figures B and C.

Grounded tools require a three wire extension
cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two
or three wire extension cord. As the distance from
the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the
required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14
gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge cord. When using more than one extension
cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord
contains at least the minimum wire size required. If
you are using one extension cord for more than one
tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum
to determine the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors,
be sure it is marked with the suffi x “W-A” (“W”
in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for
outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by
a qualifi ed person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Recommended Minimum Wire Gauge
* Based on limiting the line voltage drop to fi ve volts
at 150% of the rated amperes.

OPERATION
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury ,
always unplug tool before attaching or removing accessories or making adjustments. Use
only specifi cally recommended accessories.
Others may be hazardous.
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury ,
wear safety goggles or glasses with side
shields.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
Cat. No. 5455: To start the tool, pull the trigger. To
stop the tool, release the trigger.
Cat. Nos. 5540 & 5460 feature a dial speed control,
which controls the polisher's maximum rotations
per minute. The speed will remain variable to the
chosen dial setting by use of the trigger switch. Dial
settings range from 1 through 5. Lower numbers
correspond to lower speeds and higher numbers
correspond to higher speeds. Generally, lower
speeds are recommended for tight work areas and
higher speeds are ideal for large surface areas. Use
the setting that best suits your job.
To control the speed, set the dial to the desired
number. Then pull the trigger . Increase or decrease
pressure on the trigger to vary the speed. To stop
the tool, release the trigger.
WARNING To reduce the risk of in-
jury, keep the cord set away from the path
of the polisher. Otherwise the cord set may
become caught by the pad and wrap around
the spindle; this may cut through the cord
and expose live wires or make the gear box
electrically "live."
Polishing
Always use side handle 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 your fi nishes, waxes and
polishes.
Preventing Burning Through Paint
It is easy to burn through the paint on a surface.
This can occur if you polish at too high a speed or
if you allow the polishing pad to stay in one spot
for even a short period of time. To prevent burning
through paint, use very light pressure and keep the
polisher moving constantly, especially when working near edges or where there are abrupt changes
in the contour of the work surface.
Be particularly careful when using Cat. No. 5540,
which are high RPM polishers and are more likely
to burn through paint.
WARNING T o reduce the risk of injury ,
follow instructions for preventing snagging.
Snagging may cuase the tool to kick back
and the operator to suddenly lose control of
the tool. Always use side 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. T o 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.
When using Cat. Nos. 5460 and 5540 with the
trigger speed control, release the trigger slightly
so the rotation of the pad is slowed.
To prevent snagging while using Cat. No. 5455
without trigger speed control, it is best to use the
"coast-down" technique to avoid snagging. To
coast-down, turn the motor ON for a few seconds,
then turn it OFF and apply the polishing pad to the
surface. This way , when the pad touches the work
surface, it will be rotating more slowly than it is when
the motor is ON. Use coast-down when working in
areas where crevices or pockets are present.
