Installing Bits
Always remove the battery before inserting or 
removing bits. Select the proper style and size bit 
for the type of screw you are using.
1. To install the bit, pull out the collar. Press the bit 
into the socket until the collar snaps back and 
the bit is locked into place.
2. To remove the bit, pull out the collar, then pull 
out the bit.
NOTE:  It is not necessary to hold the collar out 
when installing and removing bits.

Checking the Fuel Gauge
To determine the amount of charge left in the bat-
tery, press the forward/reverse switch. The Fuel 
Gauge will light up for 2-3 seconds. 
The torque specifications shown here are ap-
proximate values obtained with a fully charged 
battery pack.
*  When set to high speed, set the clutch at 13 or 
below. The Automatic Shut-Off may not work 
at higher clutch settings (see "Automatic Shut-
Off").
NOTE: Because the settings shown in the table are 
only a guide, use a piece of scrap material to test 
the different clutch settings before driving screws 
into the workpiece.
Using the Lock Switch
Using the Adjustable Clutch 
This tool has an adjustable 
clutch for driving different 
types of screws into differ-
ent materials. When prop-
erly adjusted, the clutch will 
slip at a preset torque to 
prevent driving the screw 
too deep and to prevent 
damage to the screw or 
tool. 
To adjust the clutch, turn 
the clutch adjusting ring 
so that the desired setting 
(1-21) lines up with the ar-
row on the motor housing, 
as shown.
Selecting High or Low Speed 
1. For low speed (200 RPM) and more torque, push 
the speed selector back ("1" is displayed).
2. For high speed (600 RPM) and less torque, push 
the speed selector forward ("2" is displayed).

Selecting Forward or Reverse
Press and hold the forward/reverse switch up for 
forward rotation, and down for reverse rotation. The 
switch will automatically return to the center, OFF 
position when it is released.
Automatic Shut-Off
To prevent extra driving force after the selected 
torque has been reached, the tool will automatically 
shut off if the clutch slips. At higher clutch settings, 
this feature may not immediately engage. Release 
the switch to reset the automatic shut-off. 
Cold Weather Operation
The  MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion batteries can be 
used in temperatures down to -4°F. When the bat-
tery is very cold, it may "buzz" for the fi rst minute 
of use to warm itself up. Put the battery on a tool 
and use the tool in a light application. After about a 
minute, the battery will have warmed itself up and 
operate normally. 
Forward
Reverse
When the battery is installed, the tool is in operating 
condition. The lock switch prevents accidental start-
ing by locking the forward/reverse switch. Always 
set the lock switch to “lock” before performing 
maintenance, changing accessories, storing the 
tool and any time the tool is not in use.
1. To lock, push the lock switch toward the lock      
symbol.
2. To unlock, push the lock switchtoward the unlock
symbol.
