Accessories - Milwaukee 6117-30 Manuel De L'utilisateur

Always install wire brushes according to the acces-
sory manufacturer's instructions. Only use acces-
sories with threads matching the tool spindle.
Test wheel for balance and loose or damaged wires
by letting it spin for one minute before applying it to
the workpiece. During this time, no one should stand
in front of or in line with it.
Control pressure and surface contact between
wheel and workpiece. Too much pressure causes
over-bending of wires and heat build-up causing
premature wire breaking, rapid dulling and reduced
brush life. Instead of more pressure, try a wire wheel
with more aggressive cutting action (increased wire
size, decreased wire length or different brush type
(knot type vs. crimped wire type).
Using Sanding Discs
Hold tool at 5° to 15° angle 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.
Use long, sweeping, side to side strokes, advancing
forward to produce the desired finish.
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. 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.
Removing Welds or Hammer Marks - When remov-
ing welds or hammer marks, limit coarse sanding to
the immediate area. Use successively finer grits to
smooth surface.

Finishing Metal - Constantly move across the sur-
face. 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
Wire
stroke and when reversing strokes.

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
Wire
coarse to finishing discs
Cup
• Failure to use closed coated discs to reduce the
Brush
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
WARNING
any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool.
Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL
repairs.
Keep your tool 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 condi-
tion that may affect the tool operation. Return the tool
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool to a MILWAUKEE service facility for inspection.
WARNING
never immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid
to flow inside it.
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 clean-
ing 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 deter-
Hold at a Hold at a
gents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
For repairs, return the tool to the nearest authorized
service center.
