WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, follow instructions for prevent- ing snagging. Snagging may cuase the tool to kick back and the operator to suddenly lose control of the tool. Always use side handle to maintain control.

Preventing Snagging

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 sur- faces. 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 trigger speed control, release the trigger slightly so the rotation of the pad is slowed.

To prevent snagging while using Cat. No. 5455 without 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 crev- ices or pockets are present.

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 pro- gram. 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 mount- ing, broken parts and any other condition that may affect its safe opera- tion. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use a dam- aged 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

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 flow 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 thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.

Repairs

If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the nearest service center.
