2. 

To 

vary 

the speed, increase or decrease the pres-

sure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled, 

the greater the speed. 

3. 

To 

stop

 the tool, release the trigger. Ensure the 

tool has come to a complete stop before laying 

the tool down.

Installing Bits and Sockets

Always remove the battery before inserting or remov-

ing  accessories.  Select  the  proper  style  and  size 

accessories for the job. This driver is intended for 

use with drill and driver bits with a 1/4" hex shank 

and ball detent recess. 

1. 

To 

install 

the accessory, pull out the collar and 

insert the accessory. Release the collar.  

2. 

To 

remove 

the accessory, pull out the collar and 

remove the accessory. 

Setting the Mode

The mode selector collar can be set to 

60

Drilling

60  in.  lbs,  80  in.  lbs,  or  Drill.  When 

properly adjusted, the clutch will slip at 

the set torque to prevent over-tighten-

ing and possibly damaging the bands. 

To tighten bands, turn the mode selec-

tor collar so the arrow lines up with 

either  60  or  80,  as  indicated  by  the 

band manufacterer. 

To drill, turn the mode selector collar 

so the arrow lines up with 

 .                            

Torque LED

When the specified torque is reached (60/80 in.lbs), 

the Torque LED on the back of the tool will light.  

Calibration

To maintain high-precision torque, the tool will occa-

sionally need to be checked for calibration. To signify 

that the tool may be out of an acceptable tolerance 

torque range, the Torque LED will flash after the trig

-

ger is released. The tool can continue to be used for 

jobs not requiring accurate torque, but should be re

-

turned to a MILWAUKEE service facility before using 

for precision torque work. Call 1-800-SAWDUST for 

a service facility near you. MILWAUKEE will return to 

you a fully calibrated tool, along with a manufacturer's 

Certificate of Compliance.

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 flash, and 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 flash and the battery 

pack will shut off. Let the battery pack cool and then 

continue work.   

This tool provides a quick, convenient means of drill-

ing small holes and installing and removing bands. 

APPLICATIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, 

check work area for hidden pipes 

and wires before drilling or driving screws.

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 flutes. To reduce the chance of splintering, 

back work with a piece of scrap wood. 

During binding or high torque drilling applications, 

the tool may shut down. To reset, release the trigger. 

Tightening/Removing Bands

Adjust the clutch to the proper setting as indicated by 

the band manufacterer. Place the proper size socket 

into the tool. Fit the socket over the band fastener and 

pull the trigger. When the proper torque is reqched, 

the clutch will slip, the tool will stop, and the torque 

LED will light. Release the trigger.

When removing bands, it may be necessary to 

slightly loosen the band fastener by hand before 

using the tool's reverse. Fit the socket over the band 

fastener. Manually rotate the tool counterclockwise to 

release the torque on the fastener. Put the tool into 

reverse and pull the trigger fo fully release the band. 

MAINTENANCE

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 disassemble 

the  tool,  battery  pack  or  charger.  Contact  a 

MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.

Maintaining Tool 

Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good 

repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. 

Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise, 

misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of 

parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool 

operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger 

to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six 

months to one year, depending on use, return the 

tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE 

service facility for inspection.

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 prop

-

erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a 

MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of personal in-

jury and damage, never immerse 

your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or 

allow a liquid to flow inside them.

Cleaning

Clean  dust  and  debris  from  any  vents.  Keep  tool 

clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild 

soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain clean-

ing 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 deter-

gents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or 

combustible solvents around tools.

Repairs

For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger 

to the nearest authorized service center.

ASSEMBLY

WARNING

Recharge only with the charger 

specified for the battery. For spe

-

cific charging instructions, read the operator’s 

manual supplied with your charger and battery.

Removing/Inserting the Battery

To 

remove

 the battery, push in the release buttons 

and pull the battery pack away from the tool.

WARNING

Always lock the trigger or remove 

the battery pack any time the tool 

is not in use. 

To 

insert

 the battery, slide the pack into the body 

of the tool. Make sure it latches securely into place.

OPERATION

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, always 

wear proper eye protection marked 

to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

When working in dusty situations, wear appro-

priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA 

compliant dust extraction solution.

Always  remove  battery  pack  before  changing 

or removing accessories. Only use accessories 

specifically recommended for this tool. Others 

may be hazardous.

Fuel Gauge

To determine the amount of charge left in the battery, 

turn the tool 

ON

. The Fuel Gauge will light up for 2-3 

seconds. When less than 10% of charge is left, 1 light 

on the fuel gauge will flash 4 times.

To signal the end of charge, 1 light on the fuel gauge 

will flash 8 times and the tool will not run. Charge 

the battery pack.

If the battery becomes too hot, the fuel gauge lights 

will flash and the tool will not run. Allow the battery 

to cool down.

Using the Control Switch

The  control  switch  may  be  set  to  three  positions: 

forward, reverse and lock. A

lways allow the motor 

to come to a complete stop before using the control 

switch to avoid damage to the tool.

LOCK 

Push to CENTER

Reverse

Forward

1. 

For 

forward 

(clockwise) rotation, push in the con-

trol switch from the right side of the tool. 

Check 

the direction of rotation before use.

2. 

For 

reverse

 (counterclockwise) rotation, push in 

the control switch from the left side of the tool. 

Check direction of rotation before use. 

3. 

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 

any time the tool is not in use.

Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed

1. 

To 

start

 the tool, grasp the handle(s) firmly and 

pull the trigger.  

 

NOTE:

 An LED is turned on when the trigger is 

pulled and will go off shortly after the trigger is 

released.
