Removing Paint or Varnish
1.
When removing several layers of paint
or varnish, remove as much as pos-
sible with a paint solvent or varnish
remover.
Scrape away the residue with a putty
knife or other scraping tool and allow the
surface to cool and dry before applying
sander to the workpiece.
2.
Select a coarse grit sandpaper disc to
help prevent the sandpaper from clog-
ging.
MAINTENANCE
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.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a
regular maintenance program. 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 mounting, broken parts and
any other condition that may affect its safe
operation. If abnormal noise or vibration oc-
curs, 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
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:
3.
Keep the sander moving over new areas
to avoid heating and softening the work-
piece. Work in wide, overlapping strokes
to produce a uniform fi nish.
4.
As the workpiece begins to show
through the coating, switch to a medium
grit sandpaper disc to avoid scratching
the surface of the workpiece. Gradually
switch to a fi ne grit sandpaper until you
achieve the desired fi nish.
Cabinets and Doors
Because this tool works in a circular patter,
you can sand joining pieces in any direction
regardless of grain. Begin work with a coarse
grit sandpaper disc and gradually change to
fi ner grit paper for an excellent fi nish.
