APPLICATIONS
Selecting Bits
When selecting a bit, use the right type for
your job. For best performance, always use
sharp bits.
Drilling
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 fi rm 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.
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 mainte-
nance. Never disassemble the tool,
battery pack or charger. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL
repairs.
Keep your tool, battery pack and char-
ger in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. After six months
to one year, depending on use, return the
tool, battery pack and charger to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for:
• Lubrication
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning
(gears, spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (battery pack, charger,
motor)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and
electrical operation
Maintaining Tool
If the tool does not start or operate at full pow-
er 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.
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
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 fl utes. To reduce the
chance of splintering, back work with a piece
of scrap wood. Select low speeds for plastics
with a low melting point.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury
and damage, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in liquid
or allow a liquid to fl ow inside them.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from charger and tool
vents. Keep tool handles clean, dry and free
of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a
damp cloth to clean the tool, battery pack
and charger since certain cleaning agents
and solvents are harmful to plastics and other
insulated parts. Some of these include gaso-
line, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and
household detergents containing ammonia.
Never use fl ammable or combustible sol-
vents around tools.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and
charger to the nearest service center listed on
the back cover of this operator's manual.
