Milwaukee 2696-24 Manual Do Utilizador

Using Keyless Chucks 
This tool is equipped with a spindle lock. The chuck 
can be tightened with one hand, creating higher grip 
strengths on the bit.
Always remove the battery pack or lock the trigger 
before inserting or removing bits.
1. To open the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the 

counterclockwise direction.

  When using drill bits, allow the bit to strike the 

bottom of the chuck. Center the bit in the chuck 
jaws and lift it about 1/16" off of the bottom. 

  When using screwdriver bits, insert the bit far 

enough for the jaws to grip the hex of the bit. 

2. To close the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the 

clockwise direction. The bit is secure when the 
chuck makes a ratcheting sound and the sleeve 
can not be rotated any further.

3. To remove the bit, turn the sleeve in the coun-

terclockwise direction.

NOTE: A ratcheting sound may be heard when the 
chuck is opened or closed. This noise is part of the 
locking feature, and does not indicate a problem 
with the chuck’s operation.

Selecting Speed 
The speed selector is on top of the motor housing. 
Allow the tool to come to a complete stop before 
changing speeds. See “Applications” for recom-
mended speeds under various conditions.
1. For Low speed (up to 450 RPM), push the speed 

selector to display “1”.

2. For  High speed (up to 1700 RPM), push the 

speed selector to display “2”.

Selecting Hammer, Drill or Drive Action 
MILWAUKEE Hammer-Drills have three operating 
modes: drilling with hammering action, drilling only, 
and driving screws. To set the operating mode, 
rotate the application selector collar and torque 
selector collar to the desired symbols. 
1. To use the hammer-drilling mode,  rotate 

the application selector collar until the hammer 
symbol 

 appears in line with the arrow. Ap-

ply pressure to the bit to engage the hammering 
mechanism.

Using Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions: 
forward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mecha-
nism, the control switch can only be adjusted when 
the ON/OFF switch is not pressed. Always allow 
the motor to come to a complete stop before using 
the control switch.

Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials and 
Plastic
When drilling in wood, composition materials and 
plastic, select the 

 

 drill-only operating mode. 

Start the drill slowly, gradually increasing speed as 
you drill. When drilling into wood, use wood augers 
or twist drill bits.  Always use sharp bits. When using 
twist drill bits, pull the bit out of the hole frequently 
to clear chips from the bit fl utes. To reduce the 
chance of splintering, back work with a piece of 
scrap wood. Select low speeds for plastics with a 
low melting point.

Drilling in Metal
When drilling in metal, select the 

 

 drill-only 

operating mode. Use high speed steel twist drills 
or hole saws. Use a center punch to start the hole. 
Lubricate drill bits with cutting oil when drilling in 
iron or steel. Use a coolant when drilling in nonfer-
rous metals such as copper, brass or aluminum. 
Back the material to prevent binding and distortion 
on breakthrough.
Drilling in Masonry
When drilling in masonry, select the 

 hammer-

drill operating mode. Use high speed carbide-tipped 
bits. Drilling soft masonry materials such as cinder 
block requires little pressure. Hard materials like 
concrete require more pressure. A smooth, even 
fl ow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate. Do not 
let the bit spin in the hole without cutting. Do not 
use water to settle dust or to cool bit. Both actions 
will damage the carbide.

Driving Screws and Nut Running
Drill a pilot hole when driving screws into thick or 
hard materials. Select the 

 driving screws mode. 

Set the torque selector collar to the proper position 
and set the speed to low. Use the proper style and 
size screwdriver bit for the type of screw you are 
using. With the screwdriver bit in the screw, place 
the tip of the screw on the workpiece and apply fi rm 
pressure before pulling the trigger. Screws can be 
removed by reversing the motor.

Overloading
Continuous overloading may cause permanent 
damage to tool or battery pack.

For forward (clockwise) rotation, push in the control 
switch from the right side of the tool. Check the 
direction of rotation before use.
For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, push in the 
control switch from the left side of the tool. Check 
direction of rotation before use. 
To lock the trigger, push the control switch to the 
center position. The trigger will not work while 
the control switch is in the center locked position. 
Always lock the trigger or remove the battery 
pack before performing maintenance, changing 
accessories, storing the tool and any time the tool 
is not in use.

Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1. To start the tool, grasp the handle fi rmly and pull 

the trigger.

  NOTE: An LED is turned on when the trigger is 

pulled.

2. To  vary the speed, increase or decrease the 

pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger 
is pulled, the greater the speed.

3. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Make sure 

the bit comes to a complete stop before laying 
the tool down.

Drilling
Place the bit on the work surface and apply fi rm 
pressure before starting. Too much pressure will 
slow the bit and reduce drilling effi ciency. Too little 
pressure will cause the bit to slide over the work 
area and dull the point of the bit.
If the tool begins to stall, reduce pressure slightly to 
allow the bit to regain speed. If the bit binds, reverse 
the motor to free the bit from the workpiece.

  NOTE: The number selected on the torque collar 

has no effect on operation  of the drill in hammer 
mode. NOTE: When using carbide bits, do not 
use water to settle dust. Do not attempt to drill 
through steel reinforcing rods. This will damage 
the carbide bits.

2. To use the drilling only mode, rotate the ap-

plication selector collar until the drill symbol 

 

appears in line with the arrow. 

  NOTE: The number selected on the torque collar 

has no effect on operation  of the drill in drilling 
mode.

3. To use the driving screws mode rotate the 

application selector collar until the drive symbol

 appears in line with the arrow. Then rotate 

the torque selector collar until the desired clutch 
setting appears in line with the arrow.

The adjustable clutch, when properly adjusted, will 
slip at a preset torque to prevent driving the screw 
too deep into different materials and to prevent 
damage to the screw or tool.

The torque specifi cations shown here are ap-
proximate values.    

* Max developed torque when using Milwaukee XC 

battery pack.

NOTE:  Because the above settings are only a 
guide, use a piece of scrap material to test the dif-
ferent clutch positions before driving screws into 
the workpiece.
