Installing Bits
Always remove the battery before inserting or
removing bits. Select the proper style and size bit
for the application.
This tool is equipped with a spindle lock. The chuck
can be tightened with one hand, creating higher grip
strengths on the bit.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. To open the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the
counterclockwise direction.
When using drill bits, allow the bit to strike the
bottom of the chuck. Center the bit in the chuck
jaws and lift it about 1/16" off of the bottom.
When using screwdriver bits, insert the bit far
enough for the chuck jaws to grip the hex of the
bit.
3. To close the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the
clockwise direction. The bit is secure when the
chuck makes a ratcheting sound and the sleeve
can not be rotated any further.
4. To remove the bit, turn the sleeve in the counter-
clockwise direction.
NOTE: A ratcheting sound may be heard when the
chuck is opened or closed. This noise is part of the
locking feature, and does not indicate a problem
with the chuck's operation.
Using the Adjustable Clutch
This tool has an adjustable clutch for driving differ-
ent types of screws into different materials. When
properly adjusted, the clutch will slip at a preset
torque to prevent driving the screw too deep and
to prevent damage to the screw or tool.
To adjust the clutch, turn the clutch adjusting dial
so that the desired setting lines up with the arrow
on the motor housing, as shown.
Driving
The torque specifications shown here are ap-
proximate values obtained with a fully charged
battery pack.
Clutch Torque
Setting (in. lbs)
1-4 13-21 Small screws in softwood.
5-7 24-35 Medium screws in softwood or
small screws in hardwood.
8-11 42-53
Large screws in softwoods. Me-
dium screws in hardwood or large
screws in hardwood with pilot hole.
Drill 125 *
* Max developed torque when using MILWAUKEE
XC battery pack. Otherwise, max developed
torque is 100 in. lbs.
NOTE: Because the settings shown in the table are
only a guide, use a piece of scrap material to test
the different clutch settings before driving screws
into the workpiece.

Applications
Torque LED
When the maximum torque output for the clutch
setting is reached, the tool will stop and the red
Torque LED will flash. Release the switch to reset.
For example, when the clutch adjusting dial is set
to 8, torque over 42 inch pounds will cause the tool
to stop and the red Torque LED to flash.
Using Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions:
forward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mecha-
nism, the control switch can only be adjusted when
the ON/OFF switch is not pressed. Always allow the
motor to come to a complete stop before using the
control switch.
For Forward (clock-
wise) rotation, push
the control switch
as shown. Check
the direction of
r o t a t i o n b e f o r e
use.
For Reverse (coun-
terclockwise) rota-
tion, push the control switch as shown. Check
direction of rotation before use.
To Lock the trigger, push the control switch to
the center position. The trigger will not work while
the control switch is in the center locked position.
Always lock the trigger or remove the battery
pack before performing maintenance, changing
accessories, storing the tool and any time the tool
is not in use.
Warning
sonal injury, always brace or hold tool securely.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1. To start the tool, pull the paddle switch.
2. To stop the tool, release the paddle switch.
3. To vary the driving speed, increase or decrease
pressure on the paddle switch. The further the
paddle switch is pulled, the greater the speed.
Battery Pack Protection
To protect the battery from damage and extend
its life, the tool's intelligent circuit monitors current
draw, temperature, and voltage drops.
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling, and short
circuit situations that cause high current draw, the
fuel gauge will flash and then the tool will turn OFF.
To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal tem-
perature of the battery could become too high.
If this happens, the fuel gauge will flash and the
battery pack will shut off. Let the battery pack cool
and then continue work.
This tool provides a quick, convenient means of
drilling small holes and installing and removing
screws. Because of the many screw sizes, types,
thread engagements and materials available, it is
difficult to limit the application of this tool by screw
size. However, for applications in wood, a wood
screw with a full pilot hole is recommended.
