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.

the different clutch settings before driving screws
into the workpiece.
Torque LED
When the maximum torque output for the clutch
setting is reached, the tool will stop and the red
Torque LED will fl ash. Release the switch to reset.
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 (clockwise) rota-
LOCK
Push to
tion, push the control switch as
CENTER
shown. Check the direction
of rotation before use.
FORWARD
REVERSE
For Reverse (counterclock-
wise) rotation, push the con-
trol 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.
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.
APPLICATIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of explo-
sion, electric shock and property damage,
always check the work area for hidden pipes
and wires before drilling or driving screws..
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
diffi cult 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.
Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials and
Plastic
Always use sharp bits. When using twist drill bits,
pull the bit out of the hole frequently to clear chips
from the bit fl utes. To reduce the chance of splinter-
ing, back work with a piece of scrap wood. Select
low speeds for plastics with a low melting point.
Driving Screws
Drill a pilot hole when driving screws into thick
or hard materials. Set the clutch adjusting dial to
the proper position. Use the proper style and size
screwdriver bit for the type of screw you are using.
With the screwdriver bit in the screw, place the
tip of the screw on the workpiece and apply fi rm
pressure before pulling the trigger. Screws can
be removed by placing the control switch in the
"Reverse" position.
Locking the Screwdriver Bit
When the tool is off, the screwdriver bit auto-
matically locks in place allowing you to use the
screwdriver manually. Do this to tighten screws
that require more torque than the driver is capable
of delivering, when confi rming the tightness of a
screw or when loosening an extremely tight screw.
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 disassem-
ble 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.
After six months to one year, depending on use,
return the tool, battery pack and charger to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for:
• Lubrication
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears,
spindles, 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.
