Inserting/Removing Battery Pack
Insert the battery pack from the front by sliding battery pack into the body of the tool. Insert the battery pack until the battery latches lock.
To remove the battery pack, press in both battery latches and slide the battery pack off of the tool.
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 injury, always use a side handle when using this tool. Always brace or hold securely. Ensure side handle is tightened securely before each use.
Installing the Side Handle | Fig. 1 |
1. To install the side handle, |
|
loosen the side handle |
|
grip until the hooks are | Hooks |
far enough apart to fit into |
|
the slots on the gear case |
|
ring. Position the side |
|
handle on the top, left, | Slots |
or right side of the tool. |
|
Tighten the side handle grip until it is secure.
2.To remove the side handle, loosen the side handle grip until the side handle can be removed. Reposition and tighten securely.

3.To use the driving screws mode rotate the application selector collar until the drive symbol 
appears in line with the arrow. Then rotate the torque selector collar until the desired clutch setting appears in line with the arrow.
The adjustable clutch, when properly adjusted, will slip at a preset torque to prevent driving the screw too deep into different materials and to prevent damage to the screw or tool.

TO LOCK
To lock the trigger, push the control switch to the center position. The trigger will not work while the control switch is in the center locked position. Always lock the trigger before storing the tool and any time the tool is not in use.
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always use a side handle when using this tool. Always brace or hold securely. Ensure side handle is tightened securely before each use.
OPERATION
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
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 injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields.
Using Keyless Chucks
This tool is equipped with a spindle lock. The chuck can be tightened with one hand, creating higher grip strengths on the bit.
Always remove the battery pack before inserting or removing bits.
1.To open the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the counterclockwise direction.
When using drill bits, allow the bit to strike the bottom of the chuck. Center the bit in the chuck jaws and lift it about 1/16" off of the bottom.
When using screwdriver bits, insert the bit far enough for the jaws to grip the hex of the bit.
2.To close the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the clockwise direction. The bit is secure when the chuck makes a ratcheting sound and the sleeve can not be rotated any further.
3.To remove the bit, turn the sleeve in the coun- terclockwise direction.
NOTE: A ratcheting sound may be heard when the chuck is opened or closed. This noise is part of the locking feature, and does not indicate a problem with the chuck’s operation.
Selecting Speed
The speed selector is on top of the motor housing. Allow the tool to come to a complete stop before changing speeds. See “Applications” for recom- mended speeds under various conditions.
1.For Low speed (up to 450 RPM), push the speed selector to display “1”.
2.For High speed (up to 1800 RPM), push the speed selector to display “2”.
Selecting Hammer, Drill or Drive Action MILWAUKEE
1.To use the
symbol appears in line with the arrow. Ap-
ply pressure to the bit to engage the hammering mechanism.

To Hammer |
NOTE: The number selected on the torque collar has no effect on operation of the drill in hammer mode.
NOTE: When using carbide bits, do not use wa- ter to settle dust. Do not attempt to drill through steel reinforcing rods. This will damage the carbide bits.
2.To use the drilling only mode, rotate the ap- plication selector collar until the drill symbol 
appears in line with the arrow.
NOTE: The number selected on the torque collar has no effect on operation of the drill in drilling mode.
To Drive Screws |
The torque specifications shown here are ap- proximate values.
Torque selector collar setting | Torque | |
1 | - 5 | 0 - 16 in. lbs. |
6 - 10 | 17 - 27 in. lbs. | |
11 | - 15 | |
16 | - 20 | |
| Drill 1 Low | 800 in. lbs. |
| 2 High | 370 in. lbs. |
NOTE: Because the above settings are only a guide, use a piece of scrap material to test the dif- ferent clutch positions before driving screws into the workpiece.
Using Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions: forward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mecha- nism, the control switch can only be adjusted when the ON/OFF switch is not pressed. Always allow the motor to come to a complete stop before using the control switch.
For forward (clockwise) rotation, push in the control switch from the right side of the tool. Check the direction of rotation before use.
For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, push in the control switch from the left side of the tool. Check direction of rotation before use.
1.To start the tool, grasp the handle firmly and pull the trigger.
NOTE: An LED is turned on when the trigger is pulled.
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
Place the bit on the work surface and apply firm pressure before starting. Too much pressure will slow the bit and reduce drilling efficiency. 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.
