Replacing Brushes (Fig. 15 & 16)
MILWAUKEE Magnum Drills have an ex-
clusive Brush Cartridge System. The tool
will not start when the brushes are worn
to 1/8", preventing expensive damage to
the armature. New brushes are provided
in the Cartridge for fast changes any-
where.

To reduce the chance of bit binding:
•
Use sharp bits. Sharp bits are less likely
to bind when drilling.
•
Use the proper bit for the job. There are
bits that are designed for specific pur-
poses.
•
Use caution when drilling pitchy, knotty,
wet or warped material or when drill-
ing in material that may contain nails.
