Operating

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug tool before attaching or remov- ing accessories or making adjustments. Use only speciﬁcally recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always use a side handle when using this tool. Always brace or hold securely.

Adjusting the Side Handle Position and setting the Depth Gauge

1.Loosen the side handle by unscrewing the side handle grip until the side handle rotates freely.

2.Rotate the side handle to the desired position.

3.Slide the depth gauge rod to the desired position. The drilling depth is the distance between the tip of the bit and the tip of the rod.

4.Tighten the side handle grip securely.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury do not grasp the bit while the chuck is rotat- ing or while the bit is falling from the chuck.

WARNING To prevent personal injury, always remove the chuck key from the chuck after each use.

Installing Bits into Keyed Chucks

Be sure that the shank of the bit and the chuck jaws are clean. Dirt particles may cause the bit to line up improperly. Do not use bits larger than the maximum recommended capacity of the drill because gear damage or motor overloading may result. For best performance, be sure that the bits are properly sharpened before use.

	1. Unplug the tool.
	2. Open the chuck jaws
	wide enough to insert a

3.Place the chuck key into each of the three

holes in the chuck, turning it clockwise to tighten the chuck securely.

NOTE: Never use a wrench or means other than a chuck key to tighten or loosen the chuck.

4.To remove the bit, insert the chuck key into one of the holes in the chuck and turn it counterclock- wise.

all moving parts.

Selecting Action

MILWAUKEE Hammer-Drills have two settings: drilling and hammer-drilling.

1. For drilling, slide the hammer- drill lever to display the drill symbol .

2. For hammer-drilling, slide the hammer-drill lever to display the hammer symbol .

NOTE: To engage the ham- mering mechanism, maintain

pressure on the bit. When pressure on the bit is released, hammering action will stop.

Using Forward/Reverse Lever

The forward/reverse lever can only be adjusted when the trigger is not pressed. Always allow the motor to come to a complete stop before using the forward/reverse lever. When hammer-drilling, use the tool in forward rotation (clockwise) only.

1.For forward (clockwise) rotation, slide the for- ward/reverse lever display the forward symbol .

2.For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, slide the forward/reverse lever display the reverse symbol .

Position the tool, grasp the handles ﬁrmly and pull the trigger. Always hold the tool securely using both handles and maintain control. This tool has been designed to achieve top performance with only moderate pressure. Let the tool do the work. If the speed begins to drop off when drilling deep holes, pull the bit partially out of the hole while the tool is running to help clear dust. Do not use wa- ter to settle the dust since it will clog the bit ﬂutes and tend to make the bit bind in the hole. If the bit should bind, a built-in, non-adjustable slip clutch activates. If this occurs, stop the tool, free the bit and begin again.
