|
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
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 offposition 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 extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-re- lated hazards.
page 2
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 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 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 qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES — SANDERS
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 accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
3.Make sure all wheel flanges 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 power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing 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.
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 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 specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

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 Labora- |
|
|
|
tories, Inc., the Canadian Standard |
|
|
|
Association and the National Electri- |
|
|
|
cal Code. Double Insulated tools may |
|
|
|
be used in either of the 120 volt out- |
Fig. B |
Fig. C |
|
lets shown in Figures B and C. |
|||
|
|
EXTENSIONCORDS
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.

Sanding Disc and 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 finishing. Always begin with a coarse grit, using successively finer grits to obtain the desired finish. See Catalogor a complete list of MILWAUKEE sanding discs.

page 5
Removing Welds or Hammer Marks
When removing welds or hammer marks, limit coarse sanding to the immediate area. Use successively finer 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 finish. Failure to cross sand when changing from a coarse disc to a finishing 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 efficient 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.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator should be instructed in the use, care and protection of grinding wheels.
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.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury:
•ALWAYS use the proper guard.
•ALWAYS properly install the guard.
•ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with both hands before beginning grinding.
•NEVER use a wheel that has been dropped.
•NEVER bang grinding disc onto work.
•NEVER grind without proper safety equipment.

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 (Fig. 11)
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.
Wire wheel brushes are useful for removing rust, scale, burrs, weld slag, etc. A wide variety of wire brushes are available for many applications.
Test 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).
Fig. 11

WARNING! 
Never exceed Maximum Safe Operating Speed of brush. Do not use a damaged brush or one which is functioning improperly (throwing wires, out-of-balance, etc.). These conditions increase the possibility of further brush failure and possible injury. Discard and replace damaged brushes immediately.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug your tool before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool or try to do any rewiring on the tool's electrical system. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. Before use, examine the general condition of your tool. Inspect guards, switches, tool cord set and extension cord for damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mounting, broken parts and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE” until repaired (see “Repairs”).
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not necessary until the motor brushes need to be replaced. After six months to one year, depending on use, return your tool to the nearest MILWAUKEE service facility for the following:
•Lubrication
•Brush inspection and replacement
•Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)
•Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)
•Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical operation
