pack before changing or removing ac-
cessories. Only use accessories specifically
recommended for this tool. Others may be
hazardous.
Warning
wear safety goggles or glasses with side-
shields.
Installing Bits
Always remove the battery before inserting or
removing bits. Select the proper style and size bit
for the type of screw you are using.
1. To install the bit, pull out the collar. Press the bit
into the socket until the collar snaps back and
the bit is locked into place.
2. To remove the bit, pull out the collar, then pull
out the bit.
NOTE: It is not necessary to hold the collar out
when installing and removing bits.
Adjusting the Handle
The handle is designed for convenience and con-
trol. The durable, center pivot allows the handle to
be used in the conventional shape or folded into a
pistol grip. Access to the forward/reverse switch and
lock switch is comfortable in either handle position.
Using the Adjustable Clutch
This tool has an adjustable clutch
for driving different types of screws
into different materials. When prop-
erly 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 ring so that the desired
setting (1-21) lines up with the arrow
on the motor housing, as shown.
The torque specifications shown here are ap-
proximate values obtained with a fully charged
battery pack.

Using the Lock Switch
When the battery is installed, the tool is in operat-
ing condition. The lock switch prevents accidental
starting by locking the forward/reverse switch. Al-
ways set the lock switch to "lock" before performing
maintenance, changing accessories,
storing the tool and any time the tool
is not in use.
1. To lock, push the lock switch to
display the lock
2. To unlock, push the lock switch to
display the unlock
Selecting High or Low Speed
1. For low speed and more torque,
push the speed selector back ("1"
is displayed).
2. For high speed and less torque,
push the speed selector forward
("2" is displayed).
Selecting Forward or Reverse
Press and hold the top of the switch ◄ for forward
rotation, and the bottom of the switch ► for reverse
rotation. The switch will automatically return to the
center OFF position when it is released.
Automatic Shut-Off
To prevent extra driving force after the selected
torque has been reached, the tool will automatically
shut off if the clutch slips. At higher clutch settings,
this feature may not immediately engage. Release
the switch to reset the automatic shut-off.
Cold Weather Operation
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion battery packs are de-
signed to operate in temperatures below freezing.
When the battery pack is too cold, it may need to
warm up before normal use. Put the battery on a
tool and use the tool in a light application. It may
"buzz" for a short time until it warms up. When the
buzzing stops, use the tool normally.
