Stalling

If the tool seems as if it is about to stall, maintain a

rm grip and reduce pressure slightly to allow the

bit to regain speed. If the tool does stall, release

the trigger immediately. Reverse the motor, remove

the bit from the work and start again. Do not pull the

trigger on and off in an attempt to start a stalled drill.

This can damage the drill.

WARNING

High rotational force. To reduce the

risk of injury, always hold or brace

securely. Always use side handle on tools rated

1200 rpm or less.

Bit Binding

A high rotational force occurs when a bit binds. If

the bit binds, the tool will be forced in the opposite

direction of the bit rotation. Bits may bind if they are

misaligned or when they are breaking through a

hole. Wood boring bits can also bind if they run into

nails or knots. Be prepared for bit binding situations.

To reduce the chance of bit binding:

• Use sharp bits. Sharp bits are less likely to bind

when drilling.

• Use the proper bit for the job. There are bits that are

designed for specic purposes.

• Use caution when drilling pitchy, knotty, wet or

warped material or when drilling in material that may

contain nails.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, always

unplug the tool before performing

any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool.

Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL

repairs.

Maintaining Tools

Keep your tool 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 condi-

tion that may affect the tool operation. Return the tool

to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six

months to one year, depending on use, return the

tool to a MILWAUKEE service facility for inspection.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of personal in-

jury, electric shock and damage,

never immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid

to ow inside it.

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 ammable or

combustible solvents around tools.

Repairs

For repairs, return the tool to the nearest service

center.
