• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fi re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be eject-
ed from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, f ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a quali f ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where the
fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
• Keep hands away from all cutting edges and
moving parts.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
• WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe-
cially designed to fi lter out microscopic particles.

pack before changing or removing ac-
cessories. Only use accessories specif cally
recommended for this tool. Others may be
hazardous.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury ,
wear safety goggles or glasses with side-

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

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
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.

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.
