•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
•If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust col-
lection can reduce dust-related hazards.
•Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
•Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and o. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
•Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
•Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may aect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
•Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
dierent from those intended could result in a hazard-
ous situation.
•Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• Recharge only with the charger specied by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with
another battery pack.
•Use power tools only with specically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
•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 terminals together may cause
burns or a re.
•Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact ac-
cidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
•Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or
risk of injury.
•Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or ex-
cessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature
above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
•Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specied in the instructions. Charging im-
properly or at temperatures outside the specied range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
•Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manu-
facturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
DRILL/DRIVER
Safety instructions for all operations
•Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
•Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
•Never operate at higher speed than the maximum
speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the
bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without
contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
•Always start drilling at low speed and with the
bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
•Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting
in personal injury.
•Always use a side handle when using a 8.0 Ah or
higher capacity battery pack; the output torque of
some tools may increase. If your drill/driver did not
come with a side handle, visit www.milwaukeetool.
com for the appropriate accessory handle.
•
To reduce the risk of injury, when
working in dusty situations, wear
appropriate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
•Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
•Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry im-
portant information. If unreadable or missing, contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
