WARNING To reduce the hold or brace risk of injury, securely. always Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed 1. To start the tool, grasp the handle(s) firmly and pull the trigger. NOTE: An LED is turned on when the trigger is pulled and will go off shortly after the trigger is released. 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. Ensure the tool has come 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. Overloading Continuous overloading may cause permanent damage to tool or battery pack. APPLICATIONS WARNING To reduce the risk check work area of electric shock, for hidden pipes and wires before drilling or driving screws. To reduce the risk of injury in applications that produce a considerable amount of dust, use an OSHA compliant dust extraction solution in accordance with the solution's operating instructions. Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials and Plastic When drilling in wood, composition materials and plastic, select the drill-only operating mode. Start the drill slowly, gradually increasing speed as you drill. When drilling into wood, use wood augers or twist drill bits. 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. Drilling in Metal When drilling in metal, select the drill-only 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. Both actions will damage the carbide. Driving Screws and Nut Running Drill a pilot hole when driving screws into thick or hard materials. Set the torque selector collar 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 reversing the motor. MAINTENANCE 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 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 properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs. ONE-KEY™ WARNING Chemical Burn Hazard. This device contains a lithium button/coin cell battery. A new or used battery can cause severe in- ternal burns and lead to death in as little as 2 hours if swallowed or enters the body. Always secure the battery cover. If it does not close securely, stop using the device, remove the batteries, and keep it away from children. If you think batteries may have been swallowed or entered the body, seek immediate medical atten- tion. Internal Coin Cell Battery An internal coin cell battery is used to facilitate full ONE-KEY™ functionality. To replace the coin cell battery: 1. Remove the battery pack. 2. Remove the screw(s) and open the coin cell bat- tery door. 3. Remove the old coin cell battery, keep it away from children, and dispose of it properly. 4. Insert the new coin cell battery (3V CR2032), with the positive side facing up. 5. Close the battery door and tighten the screw(s) securely. WARNING To reduce the risk jury and damage, of personal innever immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow a liquid to flow inside them. 6
