Working Instructions - Milwaukee M12 FDSS Manual Original

Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
Battery protection for Li-Ion batteries
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations
that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5
seconds, the fuel gauge will flash,and then the tool will turn OFF.
To reset, release the trigger. Under extreme circumstances, the
internal temperature of the battery pack could raise too much. If
this happens, the fuel gauge will flash until the battery pack cooled
down. After the lights go off, the work may continue.
Transporting Lithium Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation
requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with
local, national and international provisions and regulations.
The user can transport the batteries by road without further
requirements.
Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is
subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and
transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately trained
persons and the process has to be accompanied by corresponding
experts.
When transporting batteries:
Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to
prevent short circuit.
Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within
packaging. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.
Check with forwarding company for further advice.

WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

General Sanding with Random Orbit Sanders
When using random orbit sanders there are a few things to keep in
mind:
• Unlike most sanders, random orbit sanders should be placed on
the workpiece BEFORE the tool is started. If the sander is started
before it is placed on the workpiece, the free floating pad may be
spinning at a speed that can cause scratches when it is finally
placed on workpiece.
• Unlike most sanders, random orbit sanders can be moved across
the workpiece in any direction (in the case of wood, regardless of
the direction of the grain).
• Varying pressure applied to the sander will affect its rotating
speed. A light pressure is recommended for fine work, moderate
pressure for rough work. Exces sive pressure does not allow the
pad to rotate enough.
• Keep sanding pad flat on the workpiece. Tipping the sander or
using the edges of the pad may produce an uneven finish, and
reduce pad life.
• Keep sander moving in broad even strokes across the workpiece.
Sanding in one spot too long can cause gouging and uneven
results.
• Check the workpiece frequently, random orbit sanders work more
aggressively than simple orbital sanders.
1. Place sander on the workpiece and turn on the sander.
2. Keep the sanding sheet flat against the workpiece, keep the
sander moving across the workpiece, and use long, sweeping
strokes.
3. Begin sanding with a coarse grit sandpaper and gradually
use finer and finer grits of sandpaper until the desired finish is
reached. For example when using the sander on wood, begin with
an 80 grit followed by a 120 grit, then a 180 grit and so on.

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 sheet to help prevent the
sandpaper from clogging.
4. Keep the sander moving over new areas to avoid heating and
softening the old coating (paint or varnish).
5. Work in wide, overlapping strokes to produce a uniform finish.
6. As the workpiece begins to show through the old coating, switch to
a medium grit sandpaper sheet to avoid scratching the surface of
the workpiece. Gradually switch to a fine grit sandpaper until you
achieve the desired finish.
CLEANING
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.
MAINTENANCE
Use only Milwaukee accessories and Milwaukee spare parts. Should
components need to be replaced which have not been described,
please contact one of our Milwaukee service agents (see our list of
