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 pres-
sure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled,
the greater the speed.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Make sure
the tool comes to a complete stop before laying
the tool down.
Operating
Position the tool, grasp the handle firmly and pull
the trigger. Always hold the tool securely to maintain
control. This tool has been designed to achieve top
performance with only moderate pressure. Let the
tool do the work.
If the speed begins to drop off when drilling large or
deep holes, pull the bit partially out of the hole while
the tool is running to help clear dust. Do not use water
to settle the dust since it will clog the bit flutes and
tend to make the bit bind in the hole. If the bit should
bind, stop the tool, free the bit and begin again.
APPLICATIONS
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
WARNING
check work area for hidden pipes
and wires before drilling.
Cut embedded rebar only if this operation does
not affect the integrity of the building. If in doubt,
consult a structural engineer. Tool operator fully
responsible for adverse structural effects.
Selecting Bits
When selecting a bit, use the right type for your job.
For best performance, always use sharp bits.
1. Before drilling, be sure the workpiece is clamped
securely. Use backing material to prevent damage
to the workpiece during breakthrough.
2. When starting a hole, place the drill bit on the work
surface and apply firm pressure. Begin drilling at
a slow speed, gradually increasing the speed as
you drill.
3. Always apply pressure in line with the bit. Use
enough pressure to keep the drill biting, but do
not push hard enough to stall the motor.
4. Reduce pressure and ease the bit through the last
part of the hole. While the tool is still running, pull
the bit out of the hole to prevent jamming.
Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials
and Plastic
(Use chuck adapter kit Cat. No. 48-66-1370)
When drilling in wood, composition materials and
plastic, 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. Use low speeds for plastics with
a low melting point.

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

allow a liquid to flow inside them.
Clean dust and debris from any vents. Keep tool
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
