APPLICATIONS

WARNING To reduce the risk of elec- tric shock, check work area for hidden pipes and wires before drilling.

Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials and Plastic

When drilling in wood, composition materials and plastic, select the drill operating mode. Start the drill slowly, gradually increasing speed as you drill. Use low speeds for plastics with a low melting point.

Drilling in Metal

When drilling in metal, select the drill operating mode. Use high speed steel twist drills or hole saws. Use a center punch to start the hole. Lubricate drill bits with cutting oil when drilling in iron or steel. Use a coolant when drilling in nonferrous metals such as copper, brass or aluminum. Back the material to prevent binding and distortion on breakthrough.

Drilling in Masonry

When drilling in masonry, select the hammer-drill operating mode. Use high speed carbide-tipped bits. Drilling soft masonry materials such as cinder block requires little pressure. Hard materials like concrete require more pressure. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate. Do not let the bit spin in the hole without cutting. Do not use water to settle dust or to cool bit. Do not attempt to drill through steel reinforcing rods. Both actions will damage the carbide.

ACCESSORIES

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

For a complete listing of accessories refer to your MILWAUKEE Electric Tool catalog or go on-line to www.milwaukeetool.com. To obtain a catalog, contact your local distributor or a service center.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug your tool before performing any maintenance. Never disas- semble the 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 gen- eral 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 occurs, 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 neces- sary 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 electri- cal 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 thin- ner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.

Repairs

If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the nearest service center.
