Attaching and Removing Accessories
These tools are intended only for use with acces-
sories designed for impact wrenches and drivers.
Other sockets could shatter or break, causing injury.
Cat. No. 2662-20
1. Use only the appropriate size Square Drive
Sockets.
2. To attach a socket, align the hole in the accessory
with the detent pin on the drive shank. Hold the
detent pin in while pushing the socket onto the
drive shank. The detent pin will snap into place
in the hole to secure the socket.
3. To remove the socket, insert a nail or other thin
object into the hole in the accessory and press in the
detent pin. Pull the accessory off the drive shank.
Cat. No. 2663-20, 2664-20
1. Use only the appropriate size Square Drive
Sockets.
2. To attach a socket, align the accessory with the
drive shank and push it firmly over the retaining ring.
3. To remove the accessory, pull the accessory off
the drive shank.
Cat. No. 2665-20
1. To attach an accessory, pull the
ring out and insert the accessory

cessories. Only use accessories specifically
recommended for this tool. Others may be
hazardous.
Warning
wear safety goggles or glasses with side
shields.
Using Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions: for-
ward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mechanism,
the control switch can only be adjusted when the trig-
ger is not pressed. Always allow the motor to come
to a complete stop before using the control switch.
1. For forward (clockwise) rotation, push the con-
trol switch from the right side of the tool. Check
the direction of rotation before use.
2. For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, push
the control switch from the left side of the tool.
Check the direction of rotation before use.
Use only sockets and other
Always remove battery
To reduce the risk of injury,
3. To lock the trigger, push the control switch to the
center position. The trigger will not work when
the control switch is in the locked position.
Always remove the battery pack before perform-
ing maintenance, changing accessories, storing
the tool and any time the tool is not in use.
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.
2. To vary the driving speed, 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 final tightening.

Warning
always unplug the charger and remove
the battery pack from the charger or tool
before performing any maintenance. Never
disassemble 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.
