GROUNDING
Improperly connecting the ground-
WARNING
ing wire can result in the risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug pro-
vided with the tool. Never remove the grounding
prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the
cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it
repaired by a MILWAUKEE service facility before
use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Grounded Tools (Three-Prong Plugs)
Tools marked "Grounding Required" have a three
wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug
must be connected to a properly grounded outlet
(See Figure A). If the tool should electrically mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the
user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through
the green wire inside the cord to the grounding
system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must
be the only wire connected to the tool's grounding
system and must never be attached to an electrically
"live" terminal.
Your tool must be plugged into an appro-
priate outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in Figure A.
Double Insulated Tools (Two-Prong Plugs)
Tools marked "Double Insulated" do not require
grounding. They have a special double insulation
system which satisfies OSHA requirements and
complies with the applicable standards
of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the
Canadian Standard Association and
the National Electrical Code. Double
Insulated tools may be used in either
of the 120 volt outlets shown in Figures
B and C.

different materials. 100% lambswool pads are ideal
for compounding on non-clearcoat finishes. Wool/
polyester blend pads are softer, making them ac-
ceptable for clearcoat finishes.

1. To install polishing pads, unplug the tool and place
it on its tool rest with the spindle upright.
2. Make sure the washer flange and spindle washer
are installed on spindle. Then, slide the disc nut
through the arbor hole in both the polishing pad
and the rubber backing pad, making sure to spread
the fibers in the pad so the disc nut seats on pad
backing.

of gear case) and simultaneously screw the disc
nut & polishing pad assembly clockwise onto the
spindle. Securely hand-tighten the disc nut and
polishing pad.
4. To remove the polishing pad, push in the spindle
lock button and turn the disc nut counterclockwise
