grounding
Warning
grounding wire can result in the risk of elec-
tric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the tool. Never remove the
grounding prong from the plug. Do not use
the tool if the cord or plug is damaged. If
damaged, have it repaired by a milWaukee
service facility before use. If the plug will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
Tools marked "Grounding Required" have a three
wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The
plug must be connected to a properly grounded
outlet (See Figure A). If the tool should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity away from
the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
The grounding prong in the plug is connected
through the green wire inside the cord to the
grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the
cord must be the only wire connected to the tool's
grounding system and must never be attached to
an electrically "live" terminal.
Your tool must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet, properly
installed and grounded in accord-
ance with all codes and ordinances.
The plug and outlet should look like
those in Figure A.
Double Insulated Tools:
Tools with Two Prong Plugs
Tools marked "Double Insulated" do not require
grounding. They have a special double insula-
tion system which satisfies OSHA requirements
and complies with the applicable standards of
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.,
the Canadian Standard Asso-
ciation and the National Elec-
trical Code. Double Insulated
tools may be used in either of
the 120 volt outlets shown in
Figures B and C.

Warning
always unplug tool before changing or re-
moving accessories. Only use accessories
specifically recommended for this tool. Others
may be hazardous.
Warning
always use a side handle when using this tool.
Always brace or hold securely.
Adjusting the Side Handle Position
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. Tighten the side handle grip securely.
Setting the Depth Gauge
1. Press in the clamping lever.
2. Slide the depth gauge rod backward or forward
until it is set for the desired depth.
NOTE: The drilling depth is the distance between
the tip of the bit and the tip of the rod.
3. Release the clamping lever.
Warning
do not grasp the bit while the chuck is rotat-
ing or while the bit is falling from the chuck.
Installing Drill Bits and Chisels
Only use accessories with SDS or SDS+ shanks.
Be sure that the shank of the bit is clean. Dirt parti-
cles 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 mo-
tor overloading may result. For best performance,
be sure that the bit is properly sharpened and the
shank is lightly greased before use.
1. Insert the bit or chisel into the nose of the tool.
2. Rotate bit slowly until it aligns with the locking
mechanism.
3. Push bit into tool until it locks.
4. Check that the bit is locked
properly; it should be possible
to pull the bit back and forth
slightly (about 1/4").
5. To remove bits and chisels,
pull bit holder release collar
toward the rear of tool and
remove bit.
NOTE: Use caution when han-
dling hot bits and chisels.
