GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR ALL POWER TOOLS
WORK AREA SAFETY
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
PERSONAL SAFETY
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
SERVICE
4. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
5. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
8. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
WARNING!
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in
all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-opearted (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
16. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
17. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the bat-
tery pack from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool acci-
dentally.
19. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tools or these
instructions to operate power tools. Power tools are danger-
ous in the hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accor-
dance with these instructions and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
23. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
10. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
12. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal injury.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
15. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-re-
lated hazards.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES SANDERS AND GRINDERS
1. Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard protects operator from broken wheel fragments.
2. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running
over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
3. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a live wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool live and shock the operator.
4. Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts.
5. Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
6. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based paint
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated
tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance
from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge exten-
sion cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a
serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the required minimum
wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the
total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size
required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add
the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required mini-
mum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked
with the suffix W-A (W in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable
for outdoor use.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it
repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat
and damp or wet areas.
GROUNDING EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded Tools:
Tools with Three Prong Plugs
Tools marked Grounding Required
have a three wire cord and three
prong grounding plug. The plug must
be connected to a properly grounded
outlet (See Figure A). If the tool should
electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low re-
sistance path to carry electricity
away from the user, reducing the risk
of electric shock.
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the
risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the tool. Never remove
the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the
cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a
MILWAUKEE service facility before use. If the plug will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

READ AND SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE USE.
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire
inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the
cord must be the only wire connected to the tool's grounding system and
must never be attached to an electrically live terminal.
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug
and outlet should look like those in Figure A.
Double Insulated Tools:
Tools with Two Prong Plugs
Tools marked Double Insulated do
not require grounding. They have a
special double insulation system
which satisfies OSHA requirements
and complies with the applicable
standards of Underwriters Labora-
tories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association and the National Electri-
cal Code. Double Insulated tools may
be used in either of the 120 volt out-
lets shown in Figures B and C.

Sanding (Fig. 4)
1. Use a clamp, vise or other practical means to hold your work, free-
ing both hands to control your tool. Firmly grasp body of tool and
side handle before starting and while tool is in operation. Allow
sanding disc to come to full speed before beginning to sand.
2. Hold sander/grinder at 5° to 15° angle (Fig. 4) 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.
3. Use long, sweeping, side to side strokes, advancing forward to
produce the desired finish.
Removing Welds or Hammer Marks
When removing welds or hammer marks, limit coarse sanding to the
immediate area. Use successively finer grits to smooth surface.
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.
Finishing 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.
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 small area
Excessive pressure
Use of worn out or glazed discs

Sanding Disc and Grinding Wheel Material
Sanding discs and grinding wheels are made of various materials and
are designed for different jobs. Be sure that you choose the proper
sanding disc or grinding wheel for the job you plan to do.
Selecting Sanding Discs & Grit
Refer to the table below to select the correct type of sanding disc for
your job. Generally, use 24 or 36 grit for heavy stock removal; 50, 60, or
80 grit for medium stock removal and 120 grit for finishing. Always begin
with a coarse grit, using successively finer grits to obtain the desired
finish. See your MILWAUKEE Electric Tool Catalog for a complete list of

Grinding (Fig. 13)
1. If you have just installed a grinding wheel or are just beginning a
period of work, test wheel by letting it spin for one minute before
applying it to the workpiece.
NOTE: Out-of-balance wheels can mar workpiece, damage the tool,
and cause stress to wheel that may cause wheel failure.
2. Firmly grasp body of tool and side handle before starting and while
using tool. Allow wheel to come to full speed before starting to grind.
3. When grinding, hold sander/grinder at a 5
o
to 15
o
angle, using con-
stant pressure for a uniform finish. Too great an angle causes con-
centrated pressure on small areas which may gouge or burn work
surface.
4. Control pressure and surface contact between disc and workpiece.
Too much pressure slows cutting speed.
Using Cut-Off Wheels (Fig. 14)
Type 1 Cut-Off Wheels are suited for small cut-off and shallow notch-
ing operations only.
1. Firmly grasp body of tool and side handle before starting and while
using tool. Allow wheel to come to full speed before starting.
2. When using a cut-off wheel, hold Sander/Grinder as shown, using
only the edge of the wheel.
A Type 1 guard must be installed when using a cut-off
wheel to provide maximum protection for the operator if the
wheel should break.
WARNING!

Guard
Wire wheel brushes are useful for removing rust, scale, burrs, weld
slag, etc. A wide variety of wire brushes are available for many
applications.
Test wire wheel brush for balance and loose or damaged wires by
running tool at no load speed for at least one minute before applying it to
your work. During this time, no one should stand in front of or in line with
it. When applying brush to work, avoid using too much pressure. This
causes over-bending of wires and heat build-up resulting in premature
wire breakage, rapid dulling and reduced brush life. Instead of using
more pressure, try a wire wheel brush with more aggressive cutting
action (increased wire size, decreased wire length or different brush
type, i.e. knot type instead of crimped wire type).
Because the wires on wire wheel brushes are directed
towards the operator, a guard must be used to protect the
operator when fatigued wires break.
WARNING!
Using the face of a Cut-Off Wheel (as in grinding) will cause
the Wheel to crack and break, resulting in serious personal
injury.
WARNING!
Never exceed Maximum Safe Operating Speed of brush. Do
not use a damaged brush or one which is functioning
improperly (throwing wires, out-of balance, etc.). these
conditions increase the possibility of further brush failure
and possible injury. Discard and replace damaged brushes
immediately.
WARNING!

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
MAINTENANCE
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.
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.
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.
ACCESSORIES
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the tool before
attaching or removing accessories. Use only specifically
recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous.
WARNING!
