Cat. Nos. 4292-1 and 4297-1 operate in either high
or low speed. Use low speed for large diameter
bits and high speed for small diameter bits (see
"Specifi cations" chart).
To change speeds, turn the drill off and rotate the
lever up or down while the drill is coasting to a stop.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the gearbox, do not
shift at full speed, when the tool is under load, or
when the tool has stopped.
The gear shift on the motor is labeled:
L - for low speed
H - for high speed
Typical Operation

Chuck" or "Morse Taper Socket" and "Using Twist
Drills" and "Using MILWAUKEE STEEL HAWG™

surface.
3. Position the unit so that the tip of the drill bit is
directly over the center of the hole to be drilled.

2. Position the magnetic base so that the drill bit
is near the desired hole location and push the
magnet button. The red indicator light will turn on.
3. Loosen the adjusting handle located at the back
of the housing base. Move the housing to position
the drill bit over the center of the hole. Tighten
the adjusting handle securely.
Keyed Chuck (Select Models)
1. Open the chuck jaws wide
enough to insert the bit.
Be sure the shank and the
chuck jaws are clean. Dirt
particles may prevent the
bit from lining up properly.
2. When using drill bits, in-
sert the bit into the chuck.
Center the bit in the chuck
jaws and lift it about 1/32"
off of the bottom. Tighten the chuck jaws by hand
to align the bit.
3. Place the chuck key in each of the three holes in
the chuck, turning it clockwise as shown below.
Tighten securely.
4. To remove the bit, insert the chuck key into one
of the three holes in the chuck and turn it coun-
terclockwise.
- Clockwise (Tighten)
- Counterclockwise (Loosen)
Morse Taper Socket (Select Models)
These drills are supplied with a No. 3 Morse Taper
Socket.
To insert a bit or adapter into the
socket:
1. Make sure the taper is clean and
lightly oiled. Foreign material can
cause misalignment.
2. Insert the taper into the socket and
rotate the taper until the bit tang
slides into the slot at the top of the
socket.
3. Press the taper fi rmly into the sock-
et, or use the feed handle to press
the bit against a piece of wood.
To remove a bit or adapter from the
socket:
1. Unscrew the knurled collar and
remove the entire Morse Taper
Socket.
2. Strike the bit tang fi rmly with a soft
metal mallet or strike the bit tang fi rm-
ly on a wood or soft metal surface.
3. Replace the Morse Taper Socket
by aligning the notches with tabs
on the drill.
4. Replace the knurled collar and
tighten.
