Operating
Position the tool, grasp the handles firmly and pull
the trigger. Always hold the tool securely using both
handles to maintain control. This tool has been de-
signed to achieve top performance with only moder-
ate 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, a built-in, non-adjustable slip clutch prevents
the bit from turning. If this occurs, stop the tool, free
the bit and begin again.
Applying greater pressure does not

increase the tool's effectiveness.
If the applied working pressure is too high, the
shock absorber will be pushed together making
the vibrations to the handle noticeably stronger.
Operator Force
The Anti-Vibration System provides the operator with
comfort without sacrificing power or performance.
Ideal operator force compresses the bellows slightly
and allows the tool to work aggressively while the
handle remains steady.
Excessive force compresses the bellows significantly
and reduces vibration dampening. Users will be able
to feel the difference and should adjust the force to
the handle accordingly.

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 sur-
face 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
Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials
(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. Select low speeds for plastics
with a low melting point.
MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disassemble
the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL 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.
To reduce the risk of personal in-
WARNING
jury and damage, never immerse
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.
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger
to the nearest authorized service center.
