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 fasteners
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.
MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
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.
Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool
operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE
service facility for inspection.
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 prop-
erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
To reduce the risk of personal in-
WARNING
jury and damage, never immerse
your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or
allow a liquid to flow inside them.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from any vents. Keep tool
clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild
soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain clean-
ing 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 household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger
to the nearest authorized service center.
