MAINTENANCE

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
unplug the charger and remove
the battery from the charger or
tool before performing any mainte-
nance. Never disassemble the tool,
battery or charger. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL
repairs.
Keep your tool, battery and charger in
good repair by adopting a regular main-
tenance program. After six months to
one year, depending on use, return the
tool, battery 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
Maintaining Tool
If the tool does not start or operate at full
power with a fully charged battery, clean the
contacts on the battery. If the tool still does
not work properly, return the tool, charger
and battery, to a MILWAUKEE service facil-
ity for repairs.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury
and damage, never immerse your
tool, battery or charger in liquid or
allow a liquid to fl ow inside them.
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 and
charger since certain cleaning agents and
solvents are harmful to plastics and other
insulated parts. Some of these include gaso-
line, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and
household detergents containing ammonia.
Never use fl ammable or combustible sol-
vents around tools.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery and charger
to the nearest service center listed on the back
cover of this operator's manual.

ing or removing accessories. Only

Every MILWAUKEE electric power tool (including battery charger) is warranted to the original
purchaser only to be free from defects in material and workmanship. Subject to certain excep-
tions, MILWAUKEE will repair or replace any part on a electric power tool which, after examina-
tion, is determined by MILWAUKEE to be defective in material or workmanship for a period of
fi ve (5) years* after the date of purchase. Return the electric power tool and a copy of proof
of purchase to a MILWAUKEE factory Service/Sales Support Branch location or MILWAUKEE
Authorized Service Station, freight prepaid and insured, are requested for this warranty to be
effective. This warranty does not apply to damage that MILWAUKEE determines to be from
repairs made or attempted by anyone other than MILWAUKEE authorized personnel, misuse,
alterations, abuse, normal wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or accidents.

During this additional warranty period, the customer pays for only the useable service received
over and above the fi rst 1000 Charges/2 years, based on the date of fi rst charge and number
of charges found on the battery pack via Milwaukee's V™-technology Service Reader.
