Operator Force
This hammer-drill features the Vibration Isolation
System to provide the operator with comfort without
sacrifi cing power or performance. The motor hous-
ing is suspended independently from the switch
handle. Insulating elements absorb vibration when
hammer-drilling and drilling.
Ideal operator force compresses the handle slightly
and allows the tool to work aggressively while the
handle provides maximum vibration dampening.
Excessive operator force compresses the handle
too far and reduces the vibration dampening. Users
will be able to feel the difference and should adjust
the force to the handle accordingly.
APPLICATIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock, check work area for hidden pipes
and wires before drilling.
Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials and
Plastic
When drilling in wood, composition materials and
plastic, select the drill operating mode. Start the drill
slowly, gradually increasing speed as you drill. Select
low speeds for plastics with a low melting point.
Drilling in Metal
When drilling in metal, select the drill 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
fl ow 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. Do not
attempt to drill through steel reinforcing rods. Both
actions will damage the carbide.
ACCESSORIES
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug the tool before attaching
or removing accessories. Use only specifi -
cally recommended accessories. Others may
be hazardous.
For a complete listing of accessories refer to your
MILWAUKEE Electric Tool catalog or go on-line
to www.milwaukeetool.com. To obtain a catalog,
contact your local distributor or a service center.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, always unplug your tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disas-
semble the tool or try to do any rewiring
on the tool's electrical system. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. Before use, examine the
general condition of your tool. Inspect guards,
switches, tool cord set and extension cord for
damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment,
binding of moving parts, improper mounting, bro-
ken parts and any other condition that may affect
its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration
occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the
problem corrected before further use. Do not use a
damaged tool. Tag damaged tools "DO NOT USE"
until repaired (see "Repairs").
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not neces-
sary until the motor brushes need to be replaced.
After six months to one year, depending on use,
return your tool to the nearest MILWAUKEE service
facility for the following:
• Lubrication
• Brush inspection and replacement
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears,
spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electri-
cal operation
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
electric shock and damage to the tool, never
immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid
to fl ow inside the tool.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool
handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use
only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your tool
since certain cleaning agents and solvents are
harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some
of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thin-
ner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use fl ammable or combustible
solvents around tools.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the
nearest service center.
