Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1. To start the tool, grasp the handle fi rmly and
pull the trigger.
NOTE: An LED is turned on when the trigger
is pulled. It will go off when the trigger is re-
leased.
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 the torque selector collars to the drill position.
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.
APPLICATIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of elec-
tric 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.
Battery Pack Protection
To protect itself from damage and extend its life,
the battery pack's intelligent circuit monitors current
draw and temperature.
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling, and short
circuit situations, the battery pack will turn OFF the
tool if the current draw becomes too high. In these
situations, the tool will "buzz" for about 5 seconds
before it turns OFF. To reset, pull and release
the trigger. If this happens repeatedly, the battery
pack will shut down and need to be placed on the
charger to reset.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal tem-
perature of the battery could become too high. If
this happens, the battery pack will shut off. Remove
the battery pack from the tool and place it on the
charger to reset it.
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 non-
ferrous 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. 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 trigger. Screws can be removed
by reversing the motor.

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 disas-
semble 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.
ACCESSORIES
WARNING
Always remove battery
pack before changing or removing acces-
sories. Only use accessories specifically
recommended for this tool. Others may be
hazardous.
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 char-
ger to the nearest service center listed on the back
cover of this operator's manual.
For a complete listing of accessories refer to your
MILWAUKEE Electric Tool catalog or go online to
www.milwaukeetool.com. To obtain a catalog, con-
tact your local distributor or a service center listed
on the back cover of this operator's manual.
