GENERAL SAFETY RULES
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and
well lit. Cluttered benches and dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control. Protect others in
the work area from debris such as
chips and sparks. Provide barriers or
shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4. Grounded tools must be plugged
into an outlet properly installed
and grounded in accordance with
all codes and ordinances. Never
remove the grounding prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adaptor plugs. Check with
a qualified electrician if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. If the tools
should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user.
5. Double Insulated tools are
equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way. Double insula-
tion eliminates the need for the

WARNING!
three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
6. Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
7. Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
8. Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord to carry the tools or pull
the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
9. When operating a power tool out-
side, use an outdoor extension
cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These
cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
10. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while op-
erating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure
switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools with the
switch on invites accidents.
tached to a rotating part of the tool may
result in personal injury.
14. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
15. Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
16. Use clamps or other practical way
to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body
is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
17. Do not force tool. Use the correct
tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it is designed.
18. Do not use tool if switch does not
turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
19. Disconnect the plug from the
power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
20. Store idle tools out of reach of chil-
dren and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
21. Maintain tools with care. Keep cut-
ting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with sharp cutting edge
are less likely to bind and are easier to
control. Do not use a damaged tool.
Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until
repaired.
22. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
2 3
23. Use only accessories that are rec-
ommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool, may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
24. Tool service must be performed
only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a
risk of injury.
25. When servicing a tool, use only
identical replacement parts.
Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use
of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces 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 tool “live”
and shock the operator.
2. Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry important information. If
unreadable or missing, contact a
WAUKEE
placement.
3. 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
• arsenic and chromium from chemi-
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

risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided
with the tool. Never remove the
grounding prong from the plug.
Do not use the tool if the cord or
plug is damaged. If damaged,
have it repaired by a
service facility before use. If the
plug will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Grounded Tools:
Tools with Three Prong Plugs
Tools marked “Grounding Required” have
a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a
properly grounded outlet (See Figure A). If
the tool should electrically malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from
the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
MILWAUKEE
Fig. A
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the
cord to the grounding system in the tool.
The green wire in the cord must be the
only wire connected to the tool's grounding system and must never be attached to
an electrically “live” terminal.
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and
ordinances. The plug and outlet should look
like those in Figure A.
Double Insulated Tools:
Tools with Two Prong Plugs
T ools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special
double insulation system which satisfies
OSHA requirements and complies with the
applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association and the National Electrical Code.
Double Insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in
Figures B and C.
Fig. B
Fig. C

EXTENSION CORDS
TOOL ASSEMBLY
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can
use either a two or three wire extension
cord. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using extension
cords with inadequately sized wire causes
a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss
of power and possible tool damage. Refer
to the table shown to determine the required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire,
the greater the capacity of the cord. For
example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a
higher current than a 16 gauge cord. When
using more than one extension cord to make
up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord
for more than one tool, add the nameplate
amperes and use the sum to determine the
required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the
suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor
use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a
qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from
sharp objects, excessive heat and
damp or wet areas.

Adjusting Locator Assembly (Fig. 6)
The locator assembly controls the tool's
driving depth. These screwdrivers feature
a locator assembly with one-handed depth
adjustment. Depth adjustments can be
made easily and quickly by turning the locator with one hand. Detents inside the
sleeve “lock” the selected depth.
For the drywall ramp-off locator assembly, start with about 1/16" clearance between the head of the screw and nose
with the snap-action clutch disengaged as
shown.
For both locator assemblies, the detents
on the inside of the sleeve represent different depths. Every two clicks of the locator equal 1/64". Continue adjusting the
locator to the desired depth.
Fig. 6
2. To decrease the driving depth, simply
rotate the locator in the direction
labeled .
The detents “lock” the locator in place,
ensuring an accurate depth setting.
3. To remove the locator assembly, turn
the ramp-off sleeve while pulling it
away from the tool. Reattaching the locator assembly will not change the
depth setting.
Adjusting Torque Setting (Fig. 7)
Cat. No. 6580-20, 6581-20
These screwdrivers have a torque setting
adjustment collar for driving different types
of screws into different materials. When
properly adjusted, the clutch will slip at a
preset torque to prevent driving the screw
too deep and to prevent damage to the
screw or tool.
The 6580-20 Screwdriver has a torque
setting adjustment collar that may be adjusted to one of forty-four settings. The
torque is adjustable from 10 to 140 inchpounds.
The 6581-20 Screwdriver has a torque
setting adjustment collar that may be adjusted to one of thirty-three settings. Beyond setting thirty-three, the tool will stall
before slipping the clutch. The torque is
adjustable from 10 to 110 inch-pounds.
To select a setting, turn the adjustment
collar in the direction indicated on the tool.
The selected setting will appear in the window as shown (Fig. 7).

1. Select the proper drywall screw for
each job. Pilot holes are not needed. T o
insert screws, place the screw onto
the insert bit, then align the screw
against the work surface, making sure
to hold the tool and screw square to
the work surface.
If the tool or screw are misaligned, the
screw will not drive into the work surface or it will not drive straight.
2. Pull the trigger and push the tool forward with a “punching” motion to sink
the screw into the drywall. A punching
motion will engage the snap-action
clutch, cause the screw to start rotating, sink the screw and disengage the
snap-action clutch within a fraction of
a second. If pressure is not maintained
on the tool after engaging the snapaction clutch, the screw will not properly seat.
The snap-action clutch will automatically disengage and the insert bit will
stop rotating once the screw has been
driven to the selected depth.
These screwdrivers feature a snapaction clutch, which may ratchet slightly
when the screw is sunk to the selected
depth.
NOTE: Practice driving screws into
pieces of scrap material to become
familiar with the tool and the snapaction clutch action before attempting
to drive screws into the workpiece.
3. To remove screws, remove the locator
assembly and switch the forward/
reverse switch to the reverse position.
Reattaching the locator assembly will
not change the depth setting.
Driving Self-Drilling Screws into
Cold-Formed Steel Framing (Fig. 9)
For Screwdrivers Rated 0-2500 RPM
When working with light gauge sheet metal,
20 gauge and thicker, follow the same procedure as with wood studs. See “Adjusting Locator Assembly” for setting driving
depth.
The screw may hesitate slightly when it
finishes breaking through the drywall and
starts to penetrate the sheet metal. This is
normal. Remember to use a “punching”
motion to drive the screw and keep firm
pressure on the tool until the screw is
seated.
Self-drilling and self-tapping screws drill,
tap and fasten in one quick, easy motion
without a separate drilling operation. Their
unique design works in metal up to 1/2"
thick, giving a strong, reliable hold. The drill
point ensures rapid drilling and consistently
low drilling pressure while the drill flutes
remove drilling chips. The pilot section ensures that drilling is completed before the
first thread engages the material. These
screws can be used in many applications
as shown at the right.
The depth setting is very important. See
“Adjusting Locator Assembly” for setting
driving depth.

Driving Wood Screws
When driving wood screws, a pilot hole is
recommended to make driving easier and
to prevent splitting the wood. As a general
rule, the pilot hole should have a diameter
of approximately 70% the size of the
screw diameter. Hardwood pilot holes
should have a diameter of approximately
90% the size of the screw diameter. The
depth of the pilot hole should be shorter
than the length of the screw by at least
one screw diameter. This allows the tip of
the screw to bite into the wood for extra
holding power.
Counterbore the top portion of the hole for
a free fit of the shank between the screw
head and the threads. When using flat head
screws, countersink the top of the hole to
allow the screw head to be driven flush
with the work surface. Use soap or wax
for easier screw insertion if necessary.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug your tool before
performing any maintenance.
Never disassemble the tool or try
to do any rewiring on the tool's
electrical system. Contact a
MILWAUKEE
ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a
regular maintenance program. Before use,
examine the general condition of your tool.
Inspect guards, switches, tool cord set and
extension cord for damage. Check for
loose screws, misalignment, binding of
moving parts, improper mounting, broken
parts and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise
or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the problem corrected
before further use. Do not use a damaged
tool. T ag damaged tools “DO NOT USE” until
repaired (see “Repairs”).
Under normal conditions, relubrication is
not necessary until the motor brushes
need to be replaced. After six months to
one year, depending on use, return your
tool to the nearest
facility for the following:
• Lubrication
• Brush inspection and replacement
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning
(gears, spindles, bearings, housing,
etc.)
• Electrical inspection (switch, cord,
armature, etc.)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical
and electrical operation
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep
the tool handles clean, dry and free of oil
or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp
cloth to clean your tool 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.
