GENERAL SAFETY RULES-FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
BA TTER Y T OOL USE AND CARE
WARNING
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re and/or
serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of fl ammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4. 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.
5. Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
7. 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.
8. When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
9. Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing 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 medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
10. Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying tools with your fi nger on
the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
12. 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.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
15. If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of these de-
vices can reduce dust-related hazards.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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 preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
19. Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tools or
these instructions to operate power
tools. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
20. 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.
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of
power tool, 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.
23. Ensure the switch is in the off posi-
tion before inserting battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
24. Recharge only with the charger speci-
fi 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.
25. Use power tools only with specifi cally
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fi re.
26. 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 terminals
together may cause burns or a fi re.
27. Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery, avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
28. 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.

BATTERY PACK CARE AND USE
EXTENDING AND MAINTAINING BATTERY PACK LIFE
MILWAUKEE battery packs will operate for many years and/or hundreds of cycles when they
are used, charged, and stored according to these instructions. Properly using, charging, and
storing your battery pack can greatly extend its life.
Charge the new battery pack overnight before use to allow the cells
to become fully charged. New
battery packs are not fully charged. Two
to ten normal charging/discharging cycles
may be required before the pack can take
its maximum charge.
Never completely discharge the
battery pack. MILWAUKEE battery
packs do not develop a "memory"
when charged after only a partial discharge.
Taping-on triggers or leaving work lights on
for extended periods to completely discharge
the battery pack will reduce its life by upsetting the electrochemical balance and can
result in short-circuiting of the battery.
Do not use or charge batteries in
hot or cold places (below 40°F (5°C)
or above 105°F (40°C)). Temperature
extremes reduce the ability for battery pack
cells to hold a charge. Do not store batteries
where the temperature may exceed 120°F
(50°C), such as in a vehicle or metal building
during the summer.
To avoid overheating to a battery pack,
allow cordless tools cool down between
high torque drilling/cutting applications.
The increased energy discharge rate will
heat the battery pack cells faster than the
cells can release the heat. This could damage the cells.
After use, allow a hot battery pack to
cool to room temperature before inserting it
into the charger. If a hot battery is put on a
charger, charging will not begin until the battery has cooled to a safe temperature. See
your charger manual for more information
on charging temperatures. Charging a hot
battery will damage the cells.
Never forcibly heat up or cool down batteries. This will damage some cells in the
pack, causing them to not be able to hold
a charge.
Remove the battery pack from the tool
for charging when the tool can no longer
perform its intended function (i.e., drilling,
cutting, etc.).
Leave the battery pack on the
charger after it has reached a full
charge; the pack will continue to
receive a trickle charge to ensure capacity
is maintained.
Occasionally (once a week) leave the
batteries on the charger overnight to help
maintain cell balance.
Do not store the battery on the charger
(for more than 24 hours); this could reduce battery life.
Never leave batteries on chargers where
power interruptions are common. Damage
to the battery cells could occur.
Store batteries at room temperature away from moisture. Do not
store in damp locations where corro-
sion of terminals may occur.
Do not submerge your battery or cordless tools in water. This will damage the
battery and tool.
Charge unused batteries overnight at
least every six months to maximize battery life. Unused batteries discharge at a
rate of about 1% per day and will be fully
discharged after six months. For batteries
stored for a long time, two to ten normal
charging cycles may be required before the
pack is fully charged.
Do not use oil or solvents to clean or
lubricate your battery pack. The plastic
casing will become brittle and crack, causing
a risk of injury.
WARNING
Charge only MILWAUKEE 12, 14.4 and
18 Volt battery packs in MILWAUKEE
chargers. Other brands of batteries
may explode causing personal injury
and damage.
For specifi c charging instructions,
please read the operator's manual
supplied with your charger.
Inserting Battery Pack into Tool
(Fig. 1 & 2)
The battery pack may feel warm after the
charging cycle. If it is warm, maximize the
output of the battery by allowing it to cool for a
few minutes before inserting it into the tool.
Battery pack can be inserted into the tool
in two ways.
Fig. 1
1. For working in restricted spaces.

Using Control Switch (Fig. 9, 10, and 11)
The control switch may be set to three positions: forward, reverse and lock. Due to a
lockout mechanism, the control switch can
only be adjusted when the ON/OFF switch
is not depressed. Always allow the motor to
come to a complete stop before using the
control switch.
For forward (clockwise) rotation, push in the
control switch from the right side of the tool
(Fig. 9). Check the direction of rotation
before use.

Starting, Stopping and Controlling
Speed
1. To start the tool, grasp the handle fi rmly
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 bit comes to a complete
stop before laying the tool down.
Drilling
Set both the hammer/drill and torque selector
collars to the drill positions.
Place the bit on the work surface and apply fi rm pressure before starting. Too much
pressure will slow the bit and reduce drilling
effi ciency. Too little pressure will cause the
bit to slide over the work area and dull the
point of the bit.
If the tool begins to stall, reduce pressure
slightly to allow the bit to regain speed. If
the bit binds, reverse the motor to free the
bit from the workpiece.
To Drive Screws
The adjustable clutch ,when properly adjusted, will slip at a preset torque to prevent
driving the screw too deep into different
materials and to prevent damage to the
screw or tool.
To lock the trigger, push the control switch
to the center position (Fig. 11). 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.

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, 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 fl utes. To reduce the
chance of splintering, back work with a piece
of scrap wood. Select low speeds for plastics
with a low melting point.
Drilling in Metal
When drilling in metal, 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.
Drilling in Masonry
When drilling in masonry, select the hammer-drill operating mode (Cat. No. 0617-20
and 0627-20 only). Use high speed carbidetipped bits. Drilling soft masonry materials
such as cinder block requires little pressure.
Hard materials like concrete require more
pressure. A smooth, even fl ow of dust indi-
cates the proper drilling rate. Do not let the
bit spin in the hole without cutting. Do not
use water to settle dust or to cool bit. Both
actions will damage the carbide.
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 fi rm pressure before pulling the trig-
ger. Screws can be removed by reversing
the motor.
Overloading
Continuous overloading may cause permanent damage to tool or battery pack.
High rotational force. To reduce the
risk of injury, always hold or brace
securely. Always use side handle
on tools.
Bit Binding
A high rotational force occurs when a bit
binds. If the bit binds, the tool will be forced
in the opposite direction of the bit rotation.
Bits may bind if they are misaligned or when
they are breaking through a hole. Wood
boring bits can also bind if they run into
nails or knots. Be prepared for bit binding
situations.
To reduce the chance of bit binding:
• Use sharp bits. Sharp bits are less likely
to bind when drilling.
• Use the proper bit for the job. There are bits
that are designed for specifi c purposes.
• Use caution when drilling pitchy, knotty,
wet or warped material or when drilling in
material that may contain nails.
