OPERATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
wear safety goggles or glasses with side
shields.
WARNING
Always remove battery
pack before changing or removing acces-
sories. Only use accessories specifically
recommended for this tool. Others may be
hazardous.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING
Recharge only with the char-
ger specifi ed for the battery. For specifi c charg-
ing instructions, read the operator’s manual
supplied with your charger and battery.
Inserting/Removing the Battery
To
remove
the battery, push in the release buttons
and pull the battery pack away from the tool.
To
insert
the battery, slide the pack into the body of
the tool. Make sure it latches securely into place.
Fuel Gauge
To determine the amount of charge left in the bat-
tery, pull the trigger. The Fuel Gauge will light up
for 2-3 seconds.
To signal the end of charge, 1 light on the fuel gauge
will fl ash for 2-3 seconds.
Installing Bits
Always remove the battery before inserting or
removing bits. Select the proper style and size bit
for the application.
This tool is equipped with a spindle lock. The chuck
can be tightened with one hand, creating higher grip
strengths on the bit.
Remove the battery pack.
1.
To open the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the
2.
counterclockwise direction.
When using drill bits, allow the bit to strike the
bottom of the chuck. Center the bit in the chuck
jaws and lift it about 1/16” off of the bottom.
When using screwdriver bits, insert the bit far
enough for the chuck jaws to grip the hex of the
bit.
To close the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the
3.
clockwise direction. The bit is secure when the
chuck makes a ratcheting sound and the sleeve
can not be rotated any further.
To remove the bit, turn the sleeve in the counter-
4.
clockwise direction.
NOTE:
A ratcheting sound may be heard when the
chuck is opened or closed. This noise is part of the
locking feature, and does not indicate a problem
with the chuck’s operation.
Driving
Drilling
Using the Adjustable Clutch
This tool has an adjustable clutch for driving differ-
ent types of screws into different materials. 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 dial
so that the desired setting lines up with the arrow
on the motor housing, as shown.

Using Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions:
forward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mecha-
nism, the control switch can only be adjusted when
the ON/OFF switch is not pressed. Always allow
the motor to come to a complete stop before using
the control switch.
For
Forward
(clock-
wise) rotation, push
the control switch
as shown.
Check
the direction of
r o t a t i o n b e f o r e
use.
For
Reverse
(coun-
terclockwise) rota-
tion, push the control switch as shown.
Check
direction of rotation before use.
To
Lock
the trigger,
push the control switch to
the center position. The trigger will not work while
the control switch is in the center locked position.
Always lock the trigger or remove the battery
pack before performing maintenance, changing
accessories, storing the tool and any time the tool
is not in use.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1. To
start
the tool, pull the paddle switch.
2. To
stop
the tool, release the paddle switch.
3. To
vary
the driving speed, increase or decrease
pressure on the paddle switch. The further the
paddle switch is pulled, the greater the speed.
Battery Pack Protection
To protect the battery from damage and extend
its life, the tool’s intelligent circuit monitors current
draw, temperature, and voltage drops.
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling, and short
circuit situations that cause high current draw, the
fuel gauge will fl ash and then the tool will turn OFF.
To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal tem-
perature of the battery could become too high.
If this happens, the fuel gauge will fl ash and the
battery pack will shut off. Let the battery pack cool
and then continue work.

APPLICATIONS
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 application of this tool by screw
size. However, for applications in wood, a wood
screw with a full pilot hole is recommended.
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 splinter-
ing, 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 adjusting dial
to the proper position. 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
pressure before pulling the trigger. Screws can
be removed by placing the control switch in the
“Reverse” position.
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.
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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of explo-
sion, electric shock and property damage,
always check the work area for hidden pipes
and wires before drilling or driving screws..
The torque specifications shown here are ap-
proximate values obtained with a fully charged
battery pack.
* Max developed torque when using
MILWAUKEE
XC battery pack. Otherwise, max
developed torque is 100 in. lbs.
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.
Torque LED
When the maximum torque output for the clutch
setting is reached, the tool will stop and the red
Torque LED will fl ash. Release the switch to reset.
For example, when the clutch adjusting dial is set
to 8, torque over 42 inch pounds will cause the tool
to stop and the red Torque LED to fl ash.
