1.Insert screw into the hex socket and align the screw against the work surface.
2.Pull the trigger while pushing the tool forward. This motion will engage the drive clutch, causing the screw to start rotating. If pressure is not maintained on the tool, the drive clutch will disengage and the screw will stop rotating.
When the selected torque is fully reached, the torque clutch will ratchet. If the screw is not fully seated, increase the torque setting number until the desired torque is obtained.
NOTE: Practice driving screws into pieces of scrap material to become familiar with the tool and the clutch action before attempting to drive screws into the workpiece.
3.To remove screws, switch the forward/ reverse switch to the reverse position.
Driving Wood Screws
When driving wood screws, a pilot hole is recommended to make driving easier and to prevent splitting the wood. As a general rule, the pilot hole should have a diameter of approximately 70% the size of the screw diameter. Hardwood pilot holes should have a diameter of approximately 90% the size of the screw diameter. The depth of the pilot hole should be shorter than the length of the screw by at least one screw diameter. This allows the tip of the screw to bite into the wood for extra holding power.
Counterbore the top portion of the hole for a free fit of the shank between the screw head and the threads. When using flat head screws, countersink the top of the hole to allow the screw head to be driven flush with the work surface. Use soap or wax for easier screw insertion if necessary.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Toreducetheriskofinjury,alwaysun- plug your tool before performing any maintenance.Neverdisassemblethe tool or try to do any rewiring on the tool's electrical system. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. Before use, examine the general condition of your tool. Inspect guards, switches, tool cord set and extension cord for damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mounting, broken parts and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration oc- curs, turn the tool off immediately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE” until repaired (see “Repairs”).
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not necessary until the motor brushes need to be replaced. After six months to one year, depending on use, return your tool to the nearest MILWAUKEE service facility for the following:
•Lubrication
•Brush inspection and replacement
•Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)
•Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)
•Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical operation
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, electric shock and damage to the tool, never immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid to flow inside the tool.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your tool 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 con- taining ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the nearest service center.
ACCESSORIES
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the tool before attaching or removing accessories. Use only spe- cifically recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous.
