WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, the operator should be instructed in the use, care and protection of ac- cessories. Typical Applications A large variety of accessories are available for applications such as grinding, sanding, and cutting. Grinding/Sanding Use sanding and grinding accessories that are: · less than 2" / 55 mm in diameter · correct accessory type and grit for the job · rated at or above the RPM listed on the tool's nameplate Wheel Brushes Wire wheel brushes are useful for removing rust, scale, burrs, weld slag, etc. A wide variety of wire brushes are available for many applications. When applying brush to work, avoid using too much pressure. This causes over-bending of wires and heat build-up resulting in premature wire breakage, rapid dulling and reduced brush life. Instead of using more pressure, try a wire wheel brush with more aggressive cutting action (increased wire size, decreased wire length or different brush type, i.e. knot type instead of crimped wire type). WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always wear proper eye protection marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. When working in dusty situations, wear appropriate respiratory protection or use an OSHA compliant dust extraction solution. Fuel Gauge To determine the amount of charge left in the battery, turn the tool ON. The fuel gauge will light up for 2-3 seconds. When less than 10% of charge is left, 1 light on the fuel gauge will flash 4 times. To signal the end of charge, 1 light on the fuel gauge will flash 8 times and the tool will not run. Charge the battery pack. If the battery becomes too hot, the fuel gauge lights will flash and the tool will not run. Allow the battery to cool down. Selecting the Speed To set the speed, use the speed selector buttons +/- to cycle from the lowest speed (5000 RPM) to the highest speed (27,500 RPM). Each LED can display two speeds. Odd speeds (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11) display initially as solid. Even speeds (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) display initially as blinking, then go solid. The LEDs will light as you increase/decrease the speed setting. NOTE: The tool will default to the selected speed the next time it is turned on. 11 or 12 9 or 10 7 or 8 5 or 6 3 or 4 1 or 2 Speed Setting 1 2 3 4 RPM 5000 7050 9100 11,100 Speed Setting 7 8 9 10 RPM 17,250 19,300 21,350 23,400 5 13,200 11 25,450 6 15,200 12 27,500 6 Using the Rotary Tool Determine the best grip for your job. The rotary tool can be held like a pencil for fine work, or gripped around the body when less precision is needed. MAINTENANCE 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 battery pack, charger, or tool, except as pro- vided in these instructions. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for all other repairs. Maintaining Tool Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. Practice on scrap material to determine the best speed, correct accessory, and get a feel for the job. Do not press the accessory into the workpiece. Little or no operator force should be needed when the correct accessory and speed are used. Touch the accessory to the workpiece and guide it over the work, making muliple passes when necessary. Move the tool in the same direction as the bit is spinning (as indicated by the arrow near the front of the tool). Moving the tool in the opposite direction can cause the tool to kickback, ending up in loss of control and damage to the workpiece WARNING Everyone in the area protective clothing must wear and safety goggles or face shields. Damaged accessories may fly apart with considerable force, causing potential for serious injury. Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise, misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool 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 tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE service facility for inspection. 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- erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs. WARNING To reduce the risk jury and damage, of personal innever immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow a liquid to flow inside them. Starting/Stopping 1. Use a clamp, vise, or other practical means to hold your work, freeing both hands to control your tool. 2. To start the tool, grasp the tool and slide the switch forward to the ON (I) position. 3. Allow the tool to come to full speed before begin- ning work. 4. Use the speed selector buttons to cycle from the lowest speed (5000 RPM) to the highest speed (27,500 RPM).
