Accessories - Milwaukee 5455 Manuel De L'utilisateur

OPERATION
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
unplug tool before attaching or
removing accessories or making adjustments.
Use only specifically recommended accessories.
Others may be hazardous.
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles
or glasses with side shields.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
Cat. No. 5455: To start the tool, pull the trigger. To
stop the tool, release the trigger.
Cat. Nos. 5540 & 5460 feature a dial speed control,
which controls the polisher's maximum rotations per
minute. The speed will remain variable to the chosen
dial setting by use of the trigger switch. Dial settings
range from 1 through 5. Lower numbers correspond
to lower speeds and higher numbers correspond to
higher speeds. Generally, lower speeds are recom-
mended for tight work areas and higher speeds are
ideal for large surface areas. Use the setting that
best suits your job.
To control the speed, set the dial to the desired
number. Then pull the trigger. Increase or decrease
pressure on the trigger to vary the speed. To stop the
tool, release the trigger.
To reduce the risk of injury, keep
WARNING
the cord set away from the path of
the polisher. Otherwise the cord set may become
caught by the pad and wrap around the spindle;
this may cut through the cord and expose live
wires or make the gear box electrically "live."
Polishing
Always use side handle for proper control. Move the
polisher back and forth in long, sweeping strokes. Too
much pressure, the wrong angle or improper motion
may cause swirl marks or burning.
For detailed polishing instructions, read the instruc-
tions provided with your finishes, waxes and polishes.
Preventing Burning Through Paint
It is easy to burn through the paint on a surface. This
can occur if you polish at too high a speed or if you
allow the polishing pad to stay in one spot for even a
short period of time. To prevent burning through paint,
use very light pressure and keep the polisher moving
constantly, especially when working near edges or
where there are abrupt changes in the contour of
the work surface.
Be particularly careful when using Cat. No. 5540,
which are high RPM polishers and are more likely
to burn through paint.
To reduce the risk of injury, follow
WARNING
instructions for preventing snag-
ging. Snagging may cause the tool to kick back
and the operator to suddenly lose control of the
tool. Always use side handle to maintain control.
Preventing Snagging
Snagging occurs when polishing pads get caught on
rough edges of a work surface. Snagging can cause
the tool to suddenly "kick back" and it may cause
the pad to burn through the paint. To reduce the risk
of snagging, use the polisher at low speeds when
polishing rough surfaces. For tricky areas such as
near trim or between a mirror and window on a car,
do not take chances with a polisher. Polish these
surfaces by hand.
When using Cat. Nos. 5460 and 5540 with the trig-
ger speed control, release the trigger slightly so the
rotation of the pad is slowed.
To prevent snagging while using Cat. No. 5455 with-
out trigger speed control, it is best to use the "coast-
down" technique to avoid snagging. To coast-down,
turn the motor ON for a few seconds, then turn it
OFF and apply the polishing pad to the surface. This
way, when the pad touches the work surface, it will
be rotating more slowly than it is when the motor is
ON. Use coast-down when working in areas where
crevices or pockets are present.
MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
unplug the tool before performing
any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool.
Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL
repairs.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. Inspect your tool for issues
such as undue noise, misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, or any other condi-
tion that may affect the tool operation. Return the tool
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool to a MILWAUKEE service facility for inspection.
To reduce the risk of personal in-
WARNING
jury, electric shock and damage,
never immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid
to flow inside it.
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep handles
clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild
soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain clean-
ing agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline,
turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
For repairs, return the tool to the nearest service center.
