Selecting Action
MILWAUKEE
Hammer-Drills have two settings:
drilling and hammer-drilling.
1. For
drilling
, turn the hammer-drill lever towards
the drill symbol .
2. For
hammer-drilling
, turn the hammer-drill lever
towards the hammer symbol
.
NOTE:
To engage the hammering mechanism,
maintain pressure on the bit. When pressure on
the bit is released, the hammering action will stop.
Using Forward/Reverse Lever
The forward/reverse lever can only be adjusted
when the trigger is not pressed. Always allow the
motor to come to a complete stop before using the
forward/reverse lever.
1. For
forward
(clockwise) rotation, push the con-
trol switch to the left side of the tool . Check
the direction of rotation before use.
2. For
reverse
(counterclockwise) rotation, push
the control switch to the right side of the tool
. Check direction of rotation before use.
NOTE:
When hammer-drilling, use the tool in for-
ward rotation (clockwise) only.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1. To
start
the tool, grasp the handle firmly and pull
the trigger.
2. To
vary
the speed, increase or decrease the
pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger
is pulled, the greater the speed.
3. To
stop
the tool, release the trigger. Make sure
the tool comes to a complete stop before laying
the tool down.
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 to maintain control. This tool has
been designed to achieve top performance with
only moderate pressure. Let the tool do the work.
If the speed begins to drop off when drilling large
or 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 prevents the bit from turning. If this occurs,
stop the tool, free the bit and begin again.
