WARNING
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re 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-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY RULES — FOR ALL POWER TOOLS
1. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of fl ammable 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.
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.
Unmodifi ed 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 out-
doors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
9. Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing 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 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 fi nger 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 foot-
ing 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 connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of these de-
vices can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
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 battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preven-
tive 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 dangerous 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 accordance 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.
SERVICE
23. 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
1. Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard protects operator
from broken wheel fragments.
2. Accessories must be rated for at least
the speed recommended on the tool
warning label. Wheels and other acces-
sories running over rated speed can fl y
apart and cause injury.
3. Make sure all wheel fl anges and other
mounting hardware are in good condition and are always used properly.
Defective or missing parts may damage the wheels and other accessories.
Always use mounting hardware supplied
with the tool.
4. Hold tools by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.
5. Keep hands away from all cutting
edges and moving parts.
6. Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
7. 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 chemicallytreated 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 specially designed to
fi lter out microscopic particles.

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.
Grounded Tools:
Tools with Three Prong Plugs
T ools 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.
Fig. B
Fig. C
Fig. A
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.

Sanding Disc/Grinding Wheel Selection
Use sanding discs and grinding wheels
that are:
• correct size as written on tool's nameplate.
• correct wheel type and grit for the job.
• rated at or above the RPM listed in
the "WARNING" section on the tool's
nameplate.
Use backing pads, adapters, and other accessories that are:
• correct size for tool and for sanding disc
or grinding wheel.
• rated at or above the RPM listed in
the "WARNING" section on the tool's
nameplate.
• the proper accessory for the job.
Aluminum Oxide: For fast cutting, general
purpose discs for most metal jobs. Best for
cold-rolled steel, stainless steel or metals
requiring tough, fast cutting, long lasting
abrasives.
Aluminum Zirconia Bi-Cut: Unique grit pattern is arranged in clusters for faster stock removal and cleaning. Ideal for removing paint
from cars, boats, etc. without clogging.
Ceramic: Lasts up to 3 times longer than
aluminum oxide discs. For general metal
working. Ideal for tough jobs.
Sanding Disc/Grinding Wheel Material
Sanding discs and grinding wheels are made
of various materials and are designed for
different jobs. Be sure that you choose the
proper sanding disc or grinding wheel for the
job you plan to do.
Selecting Sanding Discs & Grit
Refer to the table below to select the correct
type of sanding disc for your job. Generally,
use 24 or 36 grit for heavy stock removal;
50, 60, or 80 grit for medium stock removal
and 120 grit for fi nishing. Always begin with
a coarse grit, using successively fi ner grits
to obtain the desired fi nish. See Catalogor a
complete list of MILWAUKEE sanding discs.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal
injury and damage to the tool,
use ONLY accessories rated at
or above the RPM listed on the
“WARNING” section of the tool's
nameplate.
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.

Installing Backing Pad and Sanding Discs
1. Unplug tool and place it upside down on
a level surface as shown. Remove any
accessories from spindle.
2. Slip backing pad onto spindle with fl at
side away from gear case. Place sanding disc on backing pad and secure
assembly to spindle with disc nut.
3. To tighten, press the spindle lock button
while turning disc nut clockwise.
4. T o remove backing pad and sanding disc,
unplug tool and reverse procedure.
Sanding
1. Use a clamp, vise or other practical
means to hold your work, freeing both
hands to control your tool. Firmly grasp
body of tool and side handle before
starting and while tool is in operation.
Allow sanding disc to come to full speed
before beginning to sand.
2. Hold Sander/Grinder at 5° to 15° angle
as shown to ensure proper sanding
pressure and control. Too great an
angle will result in too much pressure
and could cause excessive wear to the
disc and workpiece. T oo small an angle
will reduce control.
3. Use long, sweeping, side to side strokes,
advancing forward to produce the desired fi nish.

Hold at a 5° to 15° angle
Removing Welds or Hammer Marks
When removing welds or hammer marks, limit
coarse sanding to the immediate area. Use
successively fi ner grits to smooth surface.
Cross Sanding
When finishing a surface that has been
prepared by a coarse disc or wheel, sand
at right angles to the strokes made by the
coarser disc. Finishing marks left from previous sanding are easily seen and removed
for a uniform fi nish. Failure to cross sand
when changing from a coarse disc to a
fi nishing disc may result in deep scratches
and circular marks.
Finishing Metal
Constantly move across the surface. 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
WARNING
Only use wheels with Maximum Safe
Operating Speed rated at or above
the RPM listed on the “WARNING”
section of the tool's nameplate. This
speed is based on the strength of
the wheel, allowing for a reasonable
measure of safety. It is not meant
to imply a best or most effi cient
operating speed. Do not exceed the
Maximum Safe Operating Speed.
Inspecting Wheels
Always handle wheels carefully to avoid
damage. Before installing any wheel, always
inspect it for cracks. If wheel is cracked, discard it to prevent others from using it.
Care of Grinding & Cut-Off Wheels
Grinding and cut-off wheels should be protected from:
• wetness and extreme humidity.
• any type of solvent.
• extreme changes in temperature.
• dropping and bumping.
Grinding and cut-off wheels should be
stored:
• in an organized way so wheels can be
removed without disturbing or damaging
other wheels.
• with their safety information.
Grinding and cut-off wheels should NOT be:
• dropped.
• rolled.
• bumped.
If any wheel is dropped, rolled, bumped, subjected to extreme changes in temperature,
or has come into contact with solvents or
wetness, discard wheel immediately.

Grinding
Selecting Wheels
Grinding is the cutting action of thousands
of abrasive grains on the face of a grinding
wheel. When grinding metals such as steel
and iron, choose an aluminum oxide grinding
wheel. Select a silicon carbide grinding wheel
for stone and concrete. Use cotton reinforced
wheels for non-ferrous metals.
Type 27 reinforced 1/8" cut-off wheels are
suited for small cut-off and shallow notching
operations only.
Installing Grinding Wheels
1. When guard is properly positioned,
place fl ange on spindle with fl ange fac-
ing away from tool.
1. Depending on your job, position the
guard to provide maximum protection
for the operator (Fig. 7).
2. If you have just installed a grinding wheel
or are just beginning a period of work,
test wheel by letting it spin for one minute before applying it to the workpiece.
NOTE: Out-of-balance wheels can mar
workpiece, damage the tool, and cause
stress to wheel that may cause wheel
failure.
3. Firmly grasp body of tool and side
handle before starting and while using
tool. Allow wheel to come to full speed
before starting to grind.
3. Press the spindle lock button while turning fl ange nut clockwise. Tighten securely
with the spanner wrench provided.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, do not
use the spindle lock button to stop
the spindle while the tool is in use
or is coasting after shut-off. This will
result in tool damage.
4. When grinding, hold sander/grinder
at a 5o to 15o angle as shown, using constant pressure for a uniform
finish. Too great an angle causes
concentrated pressure on small areas
which may gouge or burn work surface.
5. Control pressure and surface contact
between disc and workpiece. T oo much
pressure slows cutting speed.
2. Place selected wheel on spindle and
align with fl ange. Position fl ange nut
according to wheel thickness as shown
(Fig. 5 & 6).
Using Cut-Off Wheels
Type “1” cut-off wheels are suited for small cutoff and shallow notching operations only.
Installing Wire Cup Brushes
1. Unplug tool and place it upside down on
a level surface as shown. Remove any
accessories from spindle.
1. Firmly grasp body of tool and side
handle before starting and while using
tool. Allow wheel to come to full speed
before starting.
2. When using a cut-off wheel, hold sander/
grinder as shown, using only the edge
of the wheel.
3. Control pressure and surface contact
between disc and workpiece. T oo much
pressure slows cutting speed.
2. To install, thread wire cup brush onto
spindle. Press the spindle lock button
while tightening brush with a 7/8" open
end wrench (not provided with tool).
3. To remove wire cup brush, unplug tool
and reverse procedure.
Using Wire Wheel Brushes
Wire wheel brushes are useful for removing
rust, scale, burrs, weld slag, etc. A wide variety of wire brushes are available for many
applications.
T est wire wheel brush for balance and loose
or damaged wires by running tool at no load
speed for at least one minute before applying it to your work. During this time, no one
should stand in front of or in line with it. When
applying brush to work, avoid using too much
pressure. This causes over-bending of wires
and heat build-up resulting in premature wire
breakage, rapid dulling and reduced brush
life. Instead of using more pressure, try a wire
wheel brush with more aggressive cutting
action (increased wire size, decreased wire
length or different brush type, i.e., knot type
instead of crimped wire type).

WARNING
A Type “1” guard must be installed
when using a cut-off wheel to provide maximum protection for the
operator if the wheel should break.
WARNING
Using the face of a cut-off wheel (as
in grinding) will cause the wheel to
crack and break, resulting in serious
personal injury.
WARNING
Everyone in the area must wear protective clothing and safety goggles
or face shields. Fatigued wires and
residue will fl y off the brush with con-
siderable force, causing the potential
for serious injuries.
WARNING
Because the wires on wire wheel
brushes are directed towards the
operator, a guard must be used to
protect the operator when fatigued
wires break.
