WARNING
changing or removing accessories.
Only use accessories specifically recommended
for this tool. Others may be hazardous.
Checking the Fuel Gauge
To determine the amount of charge left in the battery,
press the forward/reverse switch. The Fuel Gauge
will light up for 2-3 seconds.
OPERATION
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
wear proper eye protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
Always remove battery pack before changing
or removing accessories. Only use accessories
specifically recommended for this tool. Others
may be hazardous.
Installing Bits
Always remove the battery before inserting or remov-
ing bits. Select the proper style and size bit for the
type of screw you are using.
1. To install the bit, pull out the collar. Press the bit
into the socket until the collar snaps back and the
bit is locked into place.
2. To remove the bit, pull out the collar, then pull out
the bit.
NOTE: It is not necessary to hold the collar out when
installing and removing bits.
Adjusting the Handle
The handle is designed for convenience and con-
trol. The durable, center pivot allows the handle to
be used in the conventional shape or folded into a
pistol grip. Access to the forward/reverse switch and
lock switch is comfortable in either handle position.
Using the Adjustable Clutch
This tool has an adjustable clutch 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 dam-
age to the screw or tool.
To adjust the clutch, turn the clutch
adjusting ring so that the desired
setting (1-21) lines up with the arrow
on the motor housing, as shown.
The torque specifications shown
here are approximate values obtained with a fully
charged battery pack.

Applications

Small screws in softwood.
Medium screws in
softwood or small screws in
hardwood.
Large screws in softwoods.
Medium screws in
hardwood or large screws
in hardwood with pilot hole.
*When set to high speed, set the clutch at 10 or be-
low. The Automatic Shut-Off may not work at higher
clutch settings (see "Automatic Shut-Off").
NOTE: Because the settings shown in the table are
only a guide, use a piece of scrap material to test
the different clutch settings before driving screws
into the workpiece.
Using the Lock Switch
When the battery is installed, the tool is in operating
condition. The lock switch prevents accidental start-
ing by locking the forward/reverse switch. Always set
the lock switch to "lock" before performing mainte-
nance, changing accessories, storing
the tool and any time the tool is not in
use.
1. To lock, push the lock switch to dis-
play the lock symbol.
2. To unlock, push the lock switch to
display the unlock
Selecting High or Low Speed
1. For low speed and more torque, push
the speed selector back ("1" is dis-
played).
2. For high speed and less torque, push
the speed selector forward ("2" is
displayed).
Selecting Forward or Reverse
Press and hold the top of the switch ◄ for forward
rotation, and the bottom of the switch ► for reverse
rotation. The switch will automatically return to the
center OFF position when it is released.

Automatic Shut-Off

To prevent extra driving force after the selected
torque has been reached, the tool will automatically
shut off if the clutch slips. At higher clutch settings,
this feature may not immediately engage. Release
the switch to reset the automatic shut-off.
Cold Weather Operation
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery packs are designed
to operate in temperatures below freezing. When
the battery pack is too cold, it may need to warm up
before normal use. Put the battery on a tool and use
the tool in a light application. It may "buzz" for a short
time until it warms up. When the buzzing stops, use
the tool normally.
APPLICATIONS
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
WARNING
check work area for hidden pipes
and wires before drilling or driving screws.
This tool provides a quick, convenient means of drill-
ing small holes and installing and removing screws.
Because of the many screw sizes, types, thread
engagements and materials available, it is difficult to
limit the application of this tool by screw size. How-
ever, for applications in wood, a #6 wood screw with
a full pilot hole is recommended as a practical limit.
Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials
Always use sharp bits. When using twist drill bits, pull
the bit out of the hole frequently to clear chips from
the bit flutes. To reduce the chance of splintering,
back work with a piece of scrap wood. Select low
speeds for plastics with a low melting point.
