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,
spindles, 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.
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 household detergents containing ammonia.
Never use flammable or combustible solvents
around tools.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and char-
ger to the nearest service center listed on the back
cover of this operator's manual.

Operation
1. Insert a nail head into the mag-
netic sleeve. Note: To avoid
jams, only use nails with a head
diameter greater that 0.200".
Do not use nails with broken
heads.
2. Place the tip of the nail against
the workpiece.
3. Press the trigger button and
apply pressure to start the ham-
mering.
4. Continue to hammer until the
collet is against the workpiece
and the nail is flush with the
workpiece.
ClearingJams
Nails with very small heads (< 0.200” diameter)
or broken heads could get jammed between the
magnetic sleeve and the anvil.
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Use a pliers to grasp the end of the nail and pull
it free from the collet. It may be necessary to
retract the magnetic sleeve to grasp the nail.
3. If the nail cannot be removed with pliers, unscrew
the collet to remove the nail from the jam.
