APPLICATIONS
MAINTENANCE
WARNING To reduce the risk of electric shock, check work area for hidden pipes and wires before drilling or driving screws.
Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials and Plastic
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 splinter- ing, back work with a piece of scrap wood. Select low speeds for plastics with a low melting point.
Driving Screws
Drill a pilot hole when driving screws into thick or hard materials. Set the clutch adjusting ring 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 firm pressure before pulling the trigger. Screws can be removed by placing the control switch in the “Reverse” position.
Locking the Screwdriver Bit
When the tool is off, the screwdriver bit auto- matically locks in place allowing you to use the screwdriver manually. Do this to tighten screws that require more torque than the driver is capable of delivering, when confirming the tightness of a screw or when loosening an extremely tight screw.
ACCESSORIES
WARNING Always remove battery pack before changing or removing accessories. Only use accessories specifically recommend- ed for this tool. Others may be hazardous.
For a complete listing of accessories refer to your Milwaukee Electric Tool catalog or go online to www.milwaukeetool.com. To obtain a catalog, contact your local distributor or service center.
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.
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 flow 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 deter- gents 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.
