pack before changing or removing accesso-
ries. Only use accessories specifi cally recom-
mended for this tool. Others may be hazardous.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury,

wear safety goggles or glasses with side
shields.

Impacting Techniques

The longer a bolt, screw, or nut is impacted, the
tighter it will become. To help prevent damaging the
fasteners or workpieces, avoid excessive impact-
ing. Be particularly careful when impacting smaller
fasteners because they require less impacting to
reach optimum torque.
Practice with various fasteners, noting the length of
time required to reach the desired torque. Check the
tightness with a hand-torque wrench. If the fasten-
ers are too tight, reduce the impacting time. If they
are not tight enough, increase the impacting time.
Oil, dirt, rust or other matter on the threads or
under the head of the fastener affects the degree
of tightness.
The torque required to loosen a fastener averages
75% to 80% of the tightening torque, depending on
the condition of the contacting surfaces.
On light gasket jobs, run each fastener down to a
relatively light torque and use a hand torque wrench
for fi nal tightening.

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, spin-

dles, 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.

MAINTENANCE

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 house-
hold detergents containing ammonia. Never use
fl ammable or combustible solvents around tools.

Repairs

For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and
charger to the nearest service center.

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

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
