ated (cordless) power tool.
tions, illustrations and specica-
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing 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. Unmodied 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 electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water 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 ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. 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 a 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 nger on the
switch or energizing 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 bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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 dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many ac-
cidents 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 hazard-
ous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
POLISHER
Safety Warnings Common for Polishing Operations:
• This power tool is intended to function as a
polisher. Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
2
below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious
WARNING
injury.
• Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire
brushing or cutting-off are not recommended to
be performed with this power tool. Operations for
which the power tool was not designed may create
a hazard and cause personal injury.
• Do not use accessories which are not specically
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 y apart.
• The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories can-
not be adequately guarded or controlled.
• Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by anges, the arbour hole of the accessory must t the locating diameter of the
ange. Accessories 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 workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
stopping ying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable
of 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 y away
and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a "live" wire may also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
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 acces-
sory 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 ammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid cool-
ants. 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 ac-
cessory. 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 in-
correct operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
• Maintain a rm grip on the power tool and posi-
tion 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 kickback 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.
• 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 Specic for Polishing Operations:
• 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 ngers or snag on the workpiece.
Additional Safety Warnings
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry im-
portant information. If unreadable or missing, contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

EXTENSION CORDS
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 sufx “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 qualied
person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

GROUNDING
WARNING
WARNING
Improperly connecting the ground-
electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician
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 t the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
Grounded Tools (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.
Your 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 (Two-Prong Plugs)
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require
grounding. They have a special double insulation
system which satisfies 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.

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.
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."
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 instruc-
tions provided with your 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.

Polishing
To reduce the risk of injury, follow
instructions for preventing snag-
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.
When using Cat. Nos. 5460 and 5540 with the trig-
ger speed control, release the trigger slightly so the
rotation of the pad is slowed.
To prevent snagging while using Cat. No. 5455 with-
out 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.
Preventing Snagging
MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of injury, always
any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool.
Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL

Keep your tool 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 condi-
tion that may affect the tool operation. Return the tool
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool to a MILWAUKEE service facility for inspection.
never immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid
to ow inside it.
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 cleaning 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 ammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
