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.
Driving Screws and Nut Running
Drill a pilot hole when driving screws into thick
or hard materials. 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.
Stalling
If the tool seems as if it is about to stall, maintain a
firm grip and reduce pressure slightly to allow the
bit to regain speed. If the tool does stall, release
the trigger immediately. Reverse the motor, remove
the bit from the work and start again. Do not pull the
trigger on and off in an attempt to start a stalled drill.
This can damage the drill.
High rotational force. To reduce the
WARNING
risk of injury, always hold or brace
securely. Always use both handles.
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 specific purposes.
• Use caution when drilling pitchy, knotty, wet or
warped material or when drilling in material that may
contain nails.

MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
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.
To reduce the risk of personal in-
WARNING
jury and damage, never immerse
your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or
allow a liquid to flow inside them.
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.
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger
to the nearest service center.
