WARNING!
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in
EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase the
exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it
is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SANDERS
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings such as
polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc. can self-ignite in the sander dust bag
or elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire always empty
the dust bag frequently (10-15 minutes) while sanding and never
store or leave a sander without totally emptying its dust bag. Also
follow the recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running.
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is
running.
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when
working with the machine.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health.
Do not inhale the dust. Use a dust absorption system and wear a
suitable dust protection mask. Remove deposited dust thoroughly,
e.g. with a vacuum cleaner.
Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health (e.g.
asbestos).
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable
vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order
to find out the cause.
The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be steady.
Do not let any metal parts enter the airing slots - danger of short
circuit!

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack
or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or
conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals,
and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., Can cause a short
circuit.
Only use original Milwaukee sanding and polishing tools with
selfadhesive hook&loop fastening.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18 battery
packs.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The sander can be used for sanding wood, plastic, metal, filler and
painted surfaces.
Do not use the product in any way other than those stated for
intended use.
RESIDUAL RISK
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible
to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in use and the operator should pay special
attention to avoid the following:
• Injury caused by vibration. Hold the product by designated
handles and restrict working time and exposure.
• Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear protection
and limit exposure.
• Injury due to flying debris. Wear eye protection, heavy long
trousers, gloves and substancial footwear at all times.
• Inhalation of toxic dusts.

NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES
Use of Li-Ion batteries
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
-1 Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of
the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk
of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged,
after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and
away from moisture
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.
2
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.
