SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
HAMMER DRILL/DRIVER
Safety instructions for all operations
‡ Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
‡8VH the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
‡ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessory or fasteners
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
‡1HYH r operate at higher speed than the maximum
speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the
bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without
contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
‡ Always start drilling at low speed and with the
bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
‡ Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting
in personal injury.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury in ap-
plications that produce a consid-
erable amount of dust, use an OSHA compliant
dust extraction solution in accordance with the
solution’s operating instructions.
‡ Always use common sense and be cautious
when using tools. It is not possible to anticipate
every situation that could result in a dangerous out-
come. Do not use this tool if you do not understand
these operating instructions or you feel the work is
beyond your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or

WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
‡ lead from lead-based paint
‡ crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
‡ arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
