Frequently Asked Questions - 6798DZ MAKITA

How do I install or remove the battery cartridge?

To remove, pull out the set plate on the tool and grasp both sides of the cartridge. To insert, align the tongue of the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing, slide it in, and snap the set plate back. Ensure the set plate is fully closed before use.

How do I adjust the fastening torque?

Use the optional adjust grip. Insert its pins into the holes at the front of the tool, then turn the grip so the torque gauge aligns with a number from 1 to 12. The number corresponds to a torque range: for 6798DZ, 6–12 N·m. Always perform 20 trial fastenings after adjustment to stabilize torque.

How do I change the rotation direction?

Use the reversing switch lever. Depress from side A for clockwise, side B for counterclockwise. When the switch lever is in the neutral position, the trigger cannot be pulled. Only change direction after the tool has come to a complete stop.

What type of bits can I use with this tool?

Only use driver bits or socket bits shown in the manual. To install, pull the sleeve, insert the bit as far as it will go, then release the sleeve to secure. Do not use other types of bits.

How do I know when to charge the battery?

The battery power warning lamp lights red when the battery is low. If you continue, the tool will stop automatically to avoid poor fastening torque. Replace with a fully charged battery as soon as the lamp lights.

What is the correct charging temperature range?

Charge the battery cartridge at room temperature between 10°C and 40°C (50°F – 104°F). Do not charge below 10°C or above 40°C.

Can I use the tool while it is charging?

No. The tool is not powered by the charger; it is battery-operated. You cannot use it while the battery is being charged.

How do I replace the carbon brushes?

When the carbon brushes are worn down to the limit mark, replace both identical brushes at the same time. Use a Makita authorized service center for repairs and maintenance to ensure safety.

What safety precautions should I take when using the tool?

Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces, keep hands away from rotating parts, ensure firm footing, and always switch off and remove the battery before adjusting or cleaning. Do not expose to rain or short the battery.

What does the clutch cut-off feature do?

When the preset torque is reached, the clutch cuts in and the motor stops automatically. This prevents over-tightening screws. Release the trigger after the clutch engages.

To remove the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the arrow and pull the bit out firmly.

Adjusting the fastening torque (Fig. 3)

Use an optional adjust grip to adjust the fastening torque.

Insert the pins of the adjust grip into the holes in the front of the tool. And then, turn the adjust grip so that the torque gauge shows the desired torque by one of the numbers from 1 to 12.

The number provides fastening torque in newton-meter (Nm), and see below for the standard fastening torque;

6796D/FD: 1 - 5 (N·m)

6797D/FD: 2 - 8 (N·m)

6798D/FD: 6 - 12 (N·m)

After completion of the adjustment, always make trial fastening about twenty times in order to keep stability of torque. Then, check the fastening torque with a torque tester before starting operation.

Battery power warning lamp (Fig. 7)

The lamp lights up in red when the battery power becomes low.

If you disregard the warning and continue operation, the battery power will become not enough for the normal performance of the tool, and soon the tool will stop in order to avoid screwdriving with poor fastening torque. And so, replace the battery by fully charged one as soon as the red lamp lights up.

CAUTION:

The lamp may also light up in red before the battery power becomes low under these conditions.

- Heavy load under which clutch mechanism does not work. Do not use the tool in this condition. (See the list of the capacity limit.)

Screwdriving operation (Fig. 8)

Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply pressure to the tool. Then switch the tool on. When the clutch cuts in, the motor will stop automatically. Then release the switch trigger.

NOTE:

Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.

Limits of fastening capacity (Fig. 9, 10 & 11)

Use the tool within the limits of fastening capacity. If you use the tool beyond the limits, the clutch does not work. And the tool cannot deliver enough fastening torque.

NOTE:

The revolution angle means the angle which a screw/bolt revolves when the tool attains to 100% from 50% of desired torque.
