MAINTENANCE

WARNING 

To reduce the risk of per-

sonal injury and damage, never immerse your 
tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow 
a liquid to fl ow inside them.

WARNING 

To reduce the risk of injury, 

always unplug the charger and remove the 
battery pack from the charger or tool before 
performing any maintenance. Never disas-
semble the tool, battery pack or charger. 
Contact a MILWAUKEE
 service facility for 
ALL repairs.

ACCESSORIES

For a complete listing of accessories refer to your

 

MILWAUKEE 

Electric Tool catalog or go online to 

www.milwaukeetool.com. To obtain a catalog, con-
tact your local distributor or a service center listed 
on the back cover of this operator’s manual.

WARNING 

Always remove battery 

pack before changing or removing acces-
sories. Only use accessories specifically 
recommended for this tool. Others may be 
hazardous. 

Maintaining Tool 

Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good 
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. 
After six months to one year, depending on use, 
return the tool, battery pack and charger to 

MILWAUKEE

 service facility for:

• Lubrication

• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, 

spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)

• Electrical inspection (battery pack, charger, 

motor)

• Testing to assure proper mechanical and 

electrical operation

If the tool does not start or operate at full power 
with a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts 
on the battery pack. If the tool still does not work 
properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, 
to a 

MILWAUKEE

 service facility for repairs.

Cleaning

Clean dust and debris from charger and tool 
vents. Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil 
or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth 
to clean the tool, battery pack and charger 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.

Repairs

For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and char-
ger to the nearest service center listed on the back 
cover of this operator's manual.

Driving Screws

Drill a pilot hole when driving screws into thick or 
hard materials. Set the clutch adjusting 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 fi rm pres-
sure before pressing the foward/reverse switch up. 
Screws can be removed by pressing the foward/
reverse switch down.

Locking the Screwdriver Bit

When the tool is off, the screwdriver bit automati-
cally locks in place allowing you to use the screw-
driver manually. 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.
