ment part number.

OPERATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of in-
jury, always unplug tool
before changing or re-
moving accessories. Only use accessories spe-
cically recommended for this tool. Others may
be hazardous.
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles
or glasses with side shields.
Selecting Air Speed
To increase or decrease the air ow
speed, use the speed control dial. Turn

To maintain the efciency of the dust extractor,
empty/change the lter bag and clean all of the
lters periodically. Milwaukee suggests cleaning
the lters after 200 holes (at 5/8” diameter, 4”
deep) or an equivalent amount of produced dust.
Starting and Stopping Dust Extractor
To turn on the dust extractor, set the
power switch to the ON position ( I ).
To turn off the dust extractor, set the
power switch to the OFF position (O).
To automatically start the dust extrac
