Adjusting Sanding Arm Position
1. Loosen the clamp screw.
2. Rotate the bandfi le head to the desired position.
3. Tighten the clamp screw securely.
Installing Side Handle
There are three holes around the gear case to
position the side handle. Screw the side handle
into the position that offers the operator the best
comfort and control of the tool.
Installing and Removing Belts
1. Remove belt guard by sliding it off of the belt
housing.
2. Push the tension arm against a stable surface
(such as the edge of a table) to compress the
spring (Fig. 1).

Changing Contact Arms
1. Remove belt guard by sliding it off of the belt
housing.
2. Remove the belt (See “Installing and Removing
Belts”).
3. Unscrew the belt tracking knob until the contact
arm is released. Set contact arm aside.
4. Install the new contact arm.
NOTE: Make sure that the tab at the end of the
contact arm faces towards the belt tracking knob.

ASSEMBLY
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug tool before attaching or remov-
ing accessories or making adjustments. Use
only specifi cally recommended accessories.
Others may be hazardous.
Grounded Tools: Tools with 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
malfunction 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 appropriate outlet, properly
installed and grounded in accord-
ance with all codes and ordinances.
The plug and outlet should look like
those in Figure A.
Double Insulated Tools:
Tools with Two Prong Plugs
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require
grounding. They have a special double insula-
tion system which satisfi es OSHA requirements
and complies with the applicable standards of
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.,
the Canadian Standard Asso-
ciation and the National Elec-
trical Code. Double Insulated
tools may be used in either of
the 120 volt outlets shown in
Figures B and C.

GROUNDING
WARNING Improperly connecting the
grounding wire can result in the risk of elec-
tric shock. Check with a qualifi ed electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided 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
fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualifi ed electrician.
Grounded tools require a three wire extension
cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two
or three wire extension cord. As the distance from
the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the
required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14
gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge cord. When using more than one extension
cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord
contains at least the minimum wire size required.
If you are using one extension cord for more than
one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the
sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be
sure it is marked with the suffi x “W-A” (“W” in
Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor
use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a
qualifi ed person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
READ AND SAVE ALL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.
* Based on limiting the line voltage drop to fi ve volts at
150% of the rated amperes.

3. Fit the belt over the drive wheel and contact arm
wheel. Release tension on tension arm.
4. Replace belt guard.
5. Turn the bandfi le on and adjust the belt tracking
by turning the belt tracking knob back and forth
until the belt is aligned on the drive wheel and
the contact arm wheel.
5. Screw the belt tracking knob into the new contact
arm.
