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 splintering,
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 dial to the proper
position. 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 automatically
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.
MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disassemble
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.
Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool
operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE
service facility for inspection.
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 prop-
erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
To reduce the risk of personal in-
WARNING
jury 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 vents. Keep handles
clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild
soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain clean-
ing 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.
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger
to the nearest service center.
