TECHNICAL DATA
WARNING
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has
been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 62841 and may
be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main
applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration
and noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure
level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take
into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level
over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects
of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep
the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
**WARNING** Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
**** IMPACT DRIVER SAFETY WARNINGS
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a
„live“ wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool „live“ and could
give the operator an electric shock.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when working with the
machine. The use of protective clothing is recommended, such as dust mask,
protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear, helmet and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health.
Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health (e.g. asbestos).
Switch the device off immediately if the insertion tool stalls! Do not switch
the device on again while the insertion tool is stalled, as doing so could
trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force.
Determine why the insertion tool stalled and rectify this, paying heed to the
safety instructions.
The possible causes may be:
- it is tilted in the workpiece to be machined
- it has pierced through the material to be machined
- the power tool is overloaded
Do not reach into the machine while it is running.
The insertion tool may become hot during use.
- when changing tools
- when setting the device down
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running.
When working in walls ceiling, or floor, take care to avoid electric cables
and gas or waterpipes.
Clamp your workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces can cause
severe injury and damage.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the machine.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by burning
them. Milwaukee Distributors offer to retrieve old batteries to protect our
environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit
risk).
Use only System M12 chargers for charging System M12 battery packs. Do not use
battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry rooms. Keep
dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load or extreme
temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash it off immediately
with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse thoroughly for at least 10
minutes and immediately seek medical attention.
Warning! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage
due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in
fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial
chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short
circuit.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The cordless industrial screwdriver can be used to tighten and loosen nuts and
bolts wherever no mains connection is available.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.

BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be recharged
before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of the battery
pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged, after
used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from the
charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away from
moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% – 50% charged condition Every six months of
storage, charge the pack as normal.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations that
cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel
gauge will flash, and then the tool will turn OFF. To reset, release the
trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery pack
could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge will flash until the
battery pack cooled down. After the lights go off, the work may continue.
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation
requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with local,
national and international provisions and regulations.
- The user can transport the batteries by road without further requirements.
- Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately trained persons and the process has to be accompanied by
corresponding experts.
When transporting batteries:
- Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to prevent short circuit.
- Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within packaging.
- Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.
