OPERATION
WARNING
Always remove battery
pack before changing or removing accesso-
ries. Only use accessories specifi cally recom-
mended for this tool. Others may be hazardous.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields.
Fuel Gauge
To determine the amount of charge left in the bat-
tery, pull the trigger. The Fuel Gauge will light up
for 2-3 seconds.
To signal the end of charge, 1 light on the fuel gauge
will fl ash for 2-3 seconds.
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.

PUSH TO CENTER TO LOCK
For forward (clockwise) rotation, push the control
switch in the direction shown. Check the direction
of rotation before use.
For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, push the
control switch in the direction shown. Check the
direction of rotation before use.
To lock the trigger, push the control switch to the
center position. The trigger will not work when the

Always lock the trigger or remove the battery
pack before performing maintenance, changing
accessories, storing the tool and any time the tool

Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
These tools may be operated at any speed from
0 to full speed.
1. To start the tool, pull the trigger. NOTE: An LED
is turned on when the trigger is pulled.
2. To vary the driving speed, simply increase or
decrease pressure on the trigger. The further
the trigger is pulled, the greater the speed.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger.
Impacting Techniques
The longer a bolt, screw, or nut is impacted, the
tighter it will become. To help prevent damaging the
fasteners or workpieces, avoid excessive impact-
ing. Be particularly careful when impacting smaller
fasteners because they require less impacting to
reach optimum torque.
Practice with various fasteners, noting the length of
time required to reach the desired torque. Check the
tightness with a hand-torque wrench. If the fasten-
ers are too tight, reduce the impacting time. If they
are not tight enough, increase the impacting time.
Oil, dirt, rust or other matter on the threads or
under the head of the fastener affects the degree
of tightness.
The torque required to loosen a fastener averages
75% to 80% of the tightening torque, depending on
the condition of the contacting surfaces.
On light gasket jobs, run each fastener down to a
relatively light torque and use a hand torque wrench
for fi nal tightening.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disas-
semble the tool, battery pack or charger.
Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for
ALL repairs.

MILWAUKEE service facility for:
• Lubrication
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spin-
dles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (battery pack, charger, motor)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical
operation
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
properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack,
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury and damage, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow

Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil or
grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to
clean the tool, battery pack and charger since certain
cleaning 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 house-
hold detergents containing ammonia. Never use
fl ammable or combustible solvents around tools.
