GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR ALL POWER TOOLS
WARNING!
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in
all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-opearted (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4. 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
5. 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.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7. 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.
8. 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.
PERSONAL SAFETY
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the bat-
tery 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 tool accidentally.
19. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tools or these
instructions to operate power tools. Power tools are danger-
ous in the hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain power tools. 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 accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accor-
dance with these instructions and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool, 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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
SERVICE
9. 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
10. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
12. 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.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
15. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-re-
lated hazards.
page 2
23. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important infor-
mation. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service
facility for a free replacement.
2. 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.
Your 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 specifically designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
3. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when per-
forming an operation where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a live wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool live and shock the operator.

GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the
risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified 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 fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
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.
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:
Tools with 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.

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 suffix 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 qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat
and damp or wet areas.

OPERATION
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses
with side shields. Unplug the tool before changing accessories or making adjustments.
Selecting and Attaching Sandpaper (Fig. 1)
MILWAUKEE Orbital Sander pads accept both adhesive-backed sandpaper and standard sandpaper with clamps.
1. To attach sandpaper, create a smooth edge by using a knife to score
the paper. The paper will tear neatly when the abrasive sides are
folded together.
2. Lay the sandpaper on a flat surface with the grit side down. Then
roll the ends of the sandpaper so the last inch of each side curls up.
This will make attachment easier.
3. Insert the curled end of the sandpaper into the clamp grip and pull
the paper tightly over the pad, making sure the paper is centered
(Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
WARNING!
Wear a dust mask and safety glasses with side shields.
Unplug tool before changing accessories.
Selecting Sandpaper and Grits
Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide or other synthetic abrasives are recommended for power sanding. A garnet sandpaper is acceptable, but has a
short life.
Start your work with an abrasive grit just coarse enough to remove high
spots and excessive roughness. Follow with a second sanding using a
grit one or two grades finer. Continue with successively finer grits until
you obtain the desired finish.
Do not switch from a coarse grit to a very fine grit in one step because
it may be impossible to remove the swirl marks made by the coarse grit
abrasive. Use the finest grits practical for the roughing operation, and
finish by using successively finer grits.
General Sanding
1. To prevent rough action due to starting under load, turn On/Off
Switch ON before applying sander to workpiece.
2. Work in slow, overlapping strokes parallel to grain. Your finishing
sander is designed for even weight distribution. Excessive pressure may damage workpiece and motor as well as cause premature
sandpaper wear.
3. Repeat operation using successively finer grits of sandpaper until
desired finish is obtained. Example: 60 Coarse, 100 Medium, 150
Fine.
4. Insert the paper into the other spring clamp, making sure the paper is
secure.
NOTE: Loose or poorly centered paper will not produce the best
results and will excessively wear sandpaper.
Dust Pick-Up Kit (Cat. No. 48-09-0300) (Fig. 2)
The dust bag provides fast and efficient removal of sawdust, keeping
your work area clean.

Removing Paint and Varnish
1. If you use liquid removers or heaters to speed your work, be sure
surface is cool and dry. Before applying sander, remove excess
material with putty knife or other suitable scraping tool.
2. Use coarse, open coat abrasive to avoid usual clogging of abrasive
surface.
3. To avoid heating and softening of material being removed, keep
finishing sander moving over new areas.
4. Work in wide, overlapping arcs for uniform finish. Do not concentrate on small areas
Cabinets and Doors
Because your finishing sander works with circular movements, you may
sand joining pieces in any direction regardless of grain. Properly changing from coarse to fine grit abrasives, will result in an excellent finish.
1. To attach the Dust Pick-Up Kit, slide the shroud half without the dust
bag over the base of the sander.
2. Slide the shroud half with the dust bag over the base. Squeeze both
shroud halves together until they lock at both ends.
3. To remove Dust Pick-Up Kit, release the tabs on each end of shroud
and remove each shroud half.
4. For best performance, empty the dust bag when it is half full. To
empty the bag, remove the shroud, unzip the bag and gently shake
dust into a container. Do not remove the dust bag from the shroud.
