• 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 accessory 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.
• WARNING 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 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 specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
