The torque specifi cations shown here are 
approximate values obtained with a fully 
charged battery pack.

   *  When set to high speed, set the clutch 

at 13 or below. The Automatic Shut-Off 
may not work at higher clutch settings 
(see "Automatic Shut-Off").

NOTE:

 Because the settings shown in the 

table are only a guide, use a piece of scrap 
material to test the different clutch settings 
before driving screws into the workpiece.

Applications

Small screws in 
softwood.

Medium screws in 
softwood or small 
screws in hardwood.

Large screws in 
softwoods. Medium 
screws in hardwood 
or large screws in 
hardwood with pilot 
hole.

Using the Adjustable Clutch 

This tool has an adjustable clutch for driving 
different types of screws into different materi-
als. When properly adjusted, the clutch will 
slip at a preset torque to prevent driving the 
screw too deep and to prevent damage to 
the screw or tool. 

To adjust the clutch, turn the clutch adjusting 
ring so that the desired setting (1-21) lines 
up with the arrow on the motor housing, as 
shown.

Using the Lock Switch

When the battery is installed, the tool is in 
operating condition. The lock switch prevents 
accidental starting by locking the forward/
reverse switch. Always set the lock switch 
to “lock” before performing maintenance, 
changing accessories, storing the tool and 
any time the tool is not in use.

1. To

 lock

, push the lock switch toward the 

lock      symbol.

2. To 

unlock

, push the lock switchtoward 

the unlock        symbol.

APPLICATIONS

Fig. 7

Selecting Forward or Reverse

Press and hold the forward/reverse switch 
up for forward rotation, and down for re-
verse rotation. The switch will automatically 
return to the center, OFF position when it 
is released.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, 
check work area for hidden pipes 
and wires before drilling or driving 
screws.

 WARNING

This tool provides a quick, convenient 
means of drilling small holes and installing 
and removing screws. Because of the many 
screw sizes, types, thread engagements and 
materials available, it is diffi cult to limit the ap-
plication of this tool by screw size. However, 
for applications in wood, a #6 wood screw 
with a full pilot hole is recommended as a 
practical limit.

Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials 
and Plastic

Always use sharp bits. When using twist drill 
bits, pull the bit out of the hole frequently to 
clear chips from the bit fl utes. To reduce the 
chance of splintering, back work with a piece 
of scrap wood. Select low speeds for plastics 
with a low melting point.

Driving Screws

Drill a pilot hole when driving screws into 
thick or hard materials. Set the clutch ad-
justing ring to the proper position and set 
the speed to low. Use the proper style and 
size screwdriver bit for the type of screw 
you are using.

With the screwdriver bit in the screw, place 
the tip of the screw on the workpiece and 
apply firm pressure before pressing the 
foward/reverse switch up. Screws can be 
removed by pressing the foward/reverse 
switch down.

Locking the Screwdriver Bit

When the forward/reverse switch is off, the 
screwdriver bit automatically locks in place 
allowing you to use the screwdriver manu-
ally. Do this to tighten screws that require 
more torque than the driver is capable of 
delivering, when confi rming the tightness 
of a screw or when loosening an extremely 
tight screw.

Forward

Reverse

Automatic Shut-Off

To prevent extra driving force after the se-
lected torque has been reached, the tool will 
automatically shut off if the clutch slips. At 
higher clutch settings, this feature may not 
immediately engage. Release the switch to 
reset the automatic shut-off. 

Cold Weather Operation

The 

MILWAUKEE

 Lithium-Ion batteries 

can be used in temperatures down to -4°F. 
When the battery is very cold, it may "buzz" 
for the fi rst minute of use to warm itself up. 
Put the battery on a tool and use the tool 
in a light application. After about a minute, 
the battery will have warmed itself up and 
operate normally.
