Starting, Stopping & Controlling Speed
1. To
start
the tool, pull trigger.
2. To
stop
the tool, release trigger.
3. To
vary
the speed, increase or decrease pres-
sure to trigger. The further the trigger is pulled,
the greater the speed.
Locking Trigger
The lock button holds the trigger in the ON position
for continuous full speed use.
1. To
lock
the trigger, hold in the lock button while
pulling the trigger. Release the trigger.
2. To
unlock
the trigger, pull the trigger and release.
The lock button will pop out.
Operating
Position the tool, grasp the handles firmly and pull
the trigger. Always hold the tool securely using both
handles and maintain control. This tool has been
designed to achieve top performance with only mod-
erate pressure. Let the tool do the work.
If the speed begins to drop off when drilling deep
holes, pull the bit partially out of the hole while the
tool is running to help clear dust. Do not use water to
settle the dust since it will clog the bit flutes and tend
to make the bit bind in the hole. If the bit should bind,
a built-in, non-adjustable slip clutch activates. If this
occurs, stop the tool, free the bit and begin again.
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
When drilling in wood, composition materials and
plastic, select the drill operating mode. Start the drill
slowly, gradually increasing speed as you drill. Use low
speeds for plastics with a low melting point.
Drilling in Metal
When drilling in metal, select the drill operating mode.
Use high speed steel twist drills or hole saws. Use a
center punch to start the hole. Lubricate drill bits with
cutting oil when drilling in iron or steel. Use a coolant
when drilling in nonferrous metals such as copper,
brass or aluminum. Back the material to prevent bind
-
ing and distortion on breakthrough.
Drilling in Masonry
When drilling in masonry, select the hammer-drill
operating mode. Use high speed carbide-tipped bits.
Drilling soft masonry materials such as cinder block
requires little pressure. Hard materials like concrete
require more pressure. A smooth, even flow of dust
indicates the proper drilling rate. Do not let the bit spin
in the hole without cutting. Do not use water to settle
dust or to cool bit. Do not attempt to drill through steel
reinforcing rods. Both actions will damage the carbide.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
unplug the tool before performing
any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool.
Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL
repairs.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool 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 condi-
tion that may affect the tool operation. Return the tool
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool to a MILWAUKEE service facility for inspection.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal in-
jury, electric shock and damage,
never immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid
to flow inside it.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep handles
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 to the nearest service center.
