WARNING
Finish sanding can produce clouds
of ne dust that could ignite in the
presence of sparks or open ame. Always wear
a suitable dust mask or respirator and use
sander in a well-ventilated area.
To reduce the risk of injury, inspect for and
remove all raised nails and fasteners from work-
piece before sanding. Striking a fastener while
sanding could cause loss of control.
Adjusting the Front Handle
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Pull the lever in the middle of the handle all the
way back into the open position.
3. Slide the handle to one of the two predeteremined
detents.
4. Push the lever down to the closed position.
WARNING
Properly secure workpiece before
sanding. Unsecured work could be
thrown towards the operator causing injury.
Using the Belt Sander
1. Secure the workpiece before starting the belt
sander. Select the proper speed for the workpiece.
2. To start the sander, grasp both handles and
pull the trigger letting the sander reach maxi-
mum speed before placing on the workpiece.
NOTE: LEDs will turn on when the trigger is pulled
and will go o󰀨 shortly after the trigger is released.
3. Slowly move the sander on the workpiece while
applying same constant pressure. Do not let the
sander remain in one spot. This will result in an
uneven surface.
4. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Ensure the
tool has come to a complete stop before laying
the tool down.
Removing Paint or Varnish
1. When removing several layers of paint or varnish,
remove as much as possible with a paint solvent
or varnish remover.
2. 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.
3. Select a coarse grit sandpaper to help prevent the
sandpaper from clogging.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re and explo-
sion, paint solvents and varnish
removers must be removed from the workpiece
and the workpiece must be completely dry before
sanding.
4. Keep the sander moving over new areas to avoid heat-
ing and softening the old coating (paint or varnish).
5. Work in wide, overlapping strokes to produce a
uniform nish.
6. As the workpiece begins to show through the
old coating, switch to a medium grit sandpaper
to avoid scratching the surface of the workpiece.
Gradually switch to a ne grit sandpaper until you
achieve the desired nish.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disassemble
the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.

repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of

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

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 prop-
