Using the Rotary Tool
Determine the best grip for your job. The rotary tool
can be held like a pencil for fine work, or gripped
around the body when less precision is needed.
Practice on scrap material to determine the best
speed, correct accessory, and get a feel for the job.
Do not press the accessory into the workpiece. Little
or no operator force should be needed when the
correct accessory and speed are used. Touch the ac-
cessory to the workpiece and guide it over the work,
making muliple passes when necessary.
Move the tool in the same direction as the bit is
spinning (as indicated by the arrow near the front of
the tool). Moving the tool in the opposite direction
can cause the tool to kickback, ending up in loss of
control and damage to the workpiece
Everyone in the area must wear
WARNING
protective clothing and safety
goggles or face shields. Damaged accessories
may fly apart with considerable force, causing
potential for serious injury.
Starting/Stopping
1. Use a clamp, vise, or other practical means to hold
your work, freeing both hands to control your tool.
2. To start the tool, grasp the tool and slide the switch
forward to the ON (I) position.
3. Allow the tool to come to full speed before begin-
ning work.
4. Use the speed selector buttons to cycle from the
lowest speed (5000 RPM) to the highest speed
(27,500 RPM).
5. To stop the tool, slide the switch back to the
OFF (0) position. Make sure the tool comes to a
complete stop before laying the tool down. NOTE:
Do not press the spindle lock button while tool is
running or the accessory is moving. This could
damage the tool.

WARNING
unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disassemble
the battery pack, charger, or tool, except as pro-
vided in these instructions. Contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility for all other 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.

your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or
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
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
