 Safety instructions for all operations

  1. Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
  2. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessories or fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
  3. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.
  4. Hold the tool firmly.
  5. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
  6. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
  7. Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
  8. Some material contains chemicals that may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
  9. If the drill bit cannot be loosened even if you open the jaws, use pliers to pull it out. In such a case, pulling out the drill bit by hand may result in injury by its sharp edge.

Safety instructions when using long drill bits

  1. Never operate at a higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
  2. Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
  3. Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with the product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.

OPERATION

CAUTION: Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it locks in place. If you can see the red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely. Insert it fully until the red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.
CAUTION: When the speed comes down extremely, reduce the load or stop the tool to avoid the tool damage.

Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the grip and the other hand on the bottom of the battery cartridge to control the twisting action.
► Fig.8

Screwdriving operation
CAUTION: Adjust the adjusting ring to the proper torque level for your work.
CAUTION: Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw and/or driver bit may be damaged.

First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the arrow on the tool body points to the marking. Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then increase the speed gradually. Release the switch trigger as soon as the clutch cuts in.

NOTE: When driving a wood screw, pre-drill a pilot hole2/3 the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier and prevents the splitting of the workpiece.

Hammer drilling operation
CAUTION: There is a tremendous and sudden twisting force exerted on the tool/drill bit at the time of hole breakthrough, when the hole becomes clogged with chips and particles, or when striking reinforcing rods embedded in the concrete.

First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the arrow on the tool body points to the marking. The adjusting ring can be aligned in any torque level for this operation. Be sure to use a tungsten-carbide-tipped drill bit. Position the drill bit at the desired location for the hole, then pull the switch trigger. Do not force the tool. Light pressure gives best results. Keep the tool in position and prevent it from slipping away from the hole. Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes clogged with chips or particles.  Instead, run the tool at an idle, then remove the drill bit partially from the hole. By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out and normal drilling may be resumed.

Blow-out bulb
Optional accessory
► Fig.9: 1. Blow-out bulb
After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the dust out of the hole.

Drilling operation
First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the arrow points to the marking. Then proceed as follows.

Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the drill bit into the workpiece.
Drilling in metal
To prevent the drill bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an indentation with a center punch and hammer at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the drill bit in the indentation and start drilling. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.

CAUTION: Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your drill bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool.
CAUTION: Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the drill bit begins to break through the workpiece. There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/drill bit at the time of hole breakthrough.
CAUTION: A stuck drill bit can be removed simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly.
CAUTION: Always secure workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device.
CAUTION: If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzene, thinner, alcohol, or the like. Discoloration, deformation, or cracks may result.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
