Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1. To
start
the tool, grasp the handle firmly and pull
the trigger.
NOTE:
An LED is turned on when the trigger is pulled.
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. Make sure the
bit comes to a complete stop before laying the tool
down.
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 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 flash and the battery
pack will shut off. Let the battery pack cool and then
continue work.
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-only operating mode.
Start the drill slowly, gradually increasing speed as
you drill. When drilling into wood, use wood augers
or twist drill bits. 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. Se
-
lect low speeds for plastics with a low melting point.
Drilling in Metal
When drilling in metal, select the
drill-only oper-
ating 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 binding and distortion on breakthrough.
Driving Screws and Nut Running
Drill a pilot hole when driving screws into thick or hard
materials.
Set the torque selector collar to the proper
position and set the speed to low. 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
firm pressure before pulling the trigger. Screws can
be removed by reversing the motor.
Overloading
Continuous overloading may cause permanent dam-
age to tool or battery pack.
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 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, battery pack and charger
to the nearest service center.
