OPERATION

WARNING Always remove battery

pack before changing or removing accesso-

ries. Only use accessories speciﬁ cally recom-

mended for this tool. Others may be hazardous.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,

wear safety goggles or glasses with side

shields.

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 ﬁ nal tightening.

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, spin-

dles, 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.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Clean dust and debris from charger and tool vents.

Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil or

grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to

clean the tool, battery pack and charger since certain

cleaning 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 house-

hold detergents containing ammonia. Never use

ﬂ ammable or combustible solvents around tools.

Repairs

For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and

charger to the nearest service center.

WARNING To reduce the risk of per-

sonal injury and damage, never immerse your

tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow

a liquid to ﬂ ow inside them.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,

always unplug the charger and remove the

battery pack from the charger or tool before

performing any maintenance. Never disas-

semble the tool, battery pack or charger.

Always lock the trigger or remove the battery

pack before performing maintenance, changing

accessories, storing the tool and any time the tool
