Sanding
Hold tool at 5° to 15° angle to ensure proper sand- ing pressure and control. Too great an angle will result in too much pressure and could cause exces- sive 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 finish.

Hold at a 5° to 15° angle
For best result use only this portion of disc
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. Finish- ing 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.
Removing Welds or Hammer Marks
When removing welds or hammer marks, limit coarse sanding to the immediate area. Use suc- cessively finer grits to smooth surface.
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 |
MAINTENANCE
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug your tool before per- forming 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 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.
