OPERATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
wear safety goggles or glasses with
side shields.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
Generally, lower speeds are recommended for tight
work areas and higher speeds are ideal for large
surface areas. Use the speed control dial to set the
maximum speed for the application.
1. Set the speed control dial to the desired maximum
speed.
2. Pull the trigger.
3. Increase or decrease pressure on the trigger to vary
the speed, up to the speed set on the dial.
4. Use the trigger lock to LOCK ON the tool for continu-
ous use, if desired.
5. To stop the tool, release the trigger.
Polishing
Always use side or bail handle for proper control. Move
the polisher back and forth in long, sweeping strokes.
Too much pressure, the wrong angle or improper mo-
tion may cause swirl marks or burning.
For detailed polishing instructions, read the instruc-
tions provided with the nishes, waxes and polishes.
Preventing Burning Through Paint
It is easy to burn through the paint on a surface. This
can occur if you polish at too high a speed or if you
allow the polishing pad to stay in one spot for even a
short period of time. To prevent burning through paint,
use very light pressure and keep the polisher moving
constantly, especially when working near edges or
where there are abrupt changes in the contour of the
work surface.
Be particularly careful when using higher RPM's which
are more likely to burn through paint.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, follow
instructions for preventing snag-
ging. Snagging may cause 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 polish-
ing rough surfaces. 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.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before per-
forming any maintenance. Never disassemble the
tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool
operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the tool,
battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE service
facility for inspection.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with a
fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on the
battery pack. If the tool still does not work properly,
return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a MIL-
WAUKEE service facility for repairs.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal in-
jury and damage, never immerse
your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow
a liquid to ow inside them.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep handles clean,
dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and
a damp cloth to clean, 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 contain-
ing ammonia. Never use ammable or combustible
solvents around tools.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger
to the nearest service center.
