Sanding
Hold tool at 5° to 15° angle 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. Too small an angle
will reduce control.
Use long, sweeping, side to side strokes, advancing
forward to produce the desired fi nish.

Cross Sanding
When fi nishing 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.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, always unplug your tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disas-
semble 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 gen-
eral 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 neces-
sary 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
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
electric shock and damage to the tool, never
immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid
to fl ow inside the tool.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool
handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use
only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your tool
since certain cleaning agents and solvents are
harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some
of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thin-
ner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use fl ammable or combustible
solvents around tools.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the
nearest service center.
