GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ﬂ ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create

sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodiﬁ ed plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-

tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. W ater entering a power tool will increase

the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces

the risk of electric shock.

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inﬂ uence of drugs, alcohol or medi- cation. A moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools

with your ﬁ nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key

left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair , clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel- lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot

be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

PERSONAL SAFETY

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power

tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

BA TTER Y T OOL USE AND CARE

• Recharge only with the charger speciﬁ ed by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for

one type of battery pack may create a risk of ﬁ re when used with another battery pack.

• Use power tools only with speciﬁ cally desig- nated battery packs. Use of any other battery

packs may create a risk of injury and ﬁ re.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-

nals together may cause burns or a ﬁ re.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ﬂ ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

SERVICE

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁ ed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.

Loss of control can cause personal injury.

• Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

• Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make

exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

• Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts.

• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry

important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

• 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.

Y our 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 ﬁ lter out microscopic particles.

Applications

Forward Push from RIGHT

Lock Push to CENTER

Reverse Push from LEFT

For forward (clockwise) rotation, push in the control switch from the right side of the tool. Check the

direction of rotation before use.

For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, push in the control switch from the left side of the tool. Check

direction of rotation before use.

To lock the trigger, push the control switch to the center position. The trigger will not work while the control switch is in the center locked position. Always lock the trigger or remove the battery pack before performing maintenance, changing accessories, storing the tool and any time the tool is not in use.

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 tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge will ﬂ ash, and then the tool will turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger.

Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery could become too high. If this happens, the fuel gauge will ﬂ ash and the battery pack will shut off. Let the battery pack cool and then continue work.

APPLICATIONS

WARNING To reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock, check work area for hidden pipes and wires before drilling or driving screws.

This tool provides a quick, convenient means of drilling small holes and installing and removing screws. Because of the many screw sizes, types, thread engagements and materials available, it is difﬁ cult to limit the application of this tool by screw size. However, for applications in wood, a #6 wood screw with a full pilot hole is recommended as a practical limit.

Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials and Plastic

Always use sharp bits. When using twist drill bits, pull the bit out of the hole frequently to clear chips from the bit ﬂ utes. T o reduce the chance of splinter- ing, back work with a piece of scrap wood. Select low speeds for plastics with a low melting point.

Driving Screws

Drill a pilot hole when driving screws into thick or hard materials. Set the clutch adjusting ring 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 ﬁ rm pres- sure before pressing the foward/reverse switch up. Screws can be removed by pressing the foward/ reverse switch down.

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. After six months to one year, depending on use, return the tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE service facility for:

• Lubrication

• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears,

spindles, 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.

Locking the Screwdriver Bit

When the tool is off, the screwdriver bit automatically locks in place allowing you to use the screwdriver manually. Do this to tighten screws that require more torque than the driver is capable of delivering, when conﬁ rming the tightness of a screw or when loosening an extremely tight screw.

WARNING To reduce the risk of per-

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

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 household detergents 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 listed on the back cover of this operator's manual.
