Milwaukee 5455 Manual Del Operador página 7

To reduce the risk of injury, follow instructions for
preventing snagging. Snagging may cuase 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 sur-
faces. 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. 5460-6 and 5540 with the trigger speed control,
release the trigger slightly so the rotation of the pad is slowed.
MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug
your tool before performing any maintenance.
Never disassemble the tool or try to do any
rewiring on the tool's electrical system. Contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance pro-
gram. Before use, examine the general condition of your tool. Inspect
guards, switches, tool cord set and extension cord for damage. Check
for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mount-
ing, broken parts and any other condition that may affect its safe opera-
tion. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately
and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use a dam-
aged tool. Tag damaged tools "DO NOT USE" until repaired
(see "Repairs").
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not necessary until the motor
brushes need to be replaced. After six months to one year, depending on
use, return your tool to the nearest MILWAUKEE service facility for the
following:
• Lubrication
• Brush inspection and replacement
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spindles, bearings,
housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical operation
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool handles clean, dry and
free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your
tool since certain cleaning 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 detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
To reduce the risk of injury, electric shock and
damage to the tool, never immerse your tool in
liquid or allow a liquid to flow inside the tool.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the nearest service
center listed on the back cover of this operator's manual.
WARNING!
WARNING!
WARNING!
To prevent snagging while using Cat. No. 5455 without 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 crev-
ices or pockets are present.
