FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

- Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking function on the tool.

Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)

• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.

• To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely. Install 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.

• Do not use force when installing the battery cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.

Battery protection system (Battery cartridge with a star mark) (Fig. 2)

The battery cartridge with a star mark is equipped with the protection system, which automatically cuts off the output power for its long service life.

The tool stops during operation when the tool and/or battery are placed under the following situation. This is caused by the activation of protection system and does not show the tool trouble.

- When the tool is overloaded: At this time, release the switch trigger, remove the battery cartridge and remove causes of overload and then pull the switch trigger again to restart.

- When battery cells get hot: If any operation of the switch trigger, the motor will remain stopped. At this time, stop use of the tool and cool or charge the battery cartridge after removing it from the tool.

- When the remaining battery capacity gets low: If any operation of the switch trigger, the motor will remain stopped. At this time, remove the battery cartridge from the tool and charge it.

Switch action (Fig. 3)

CAUTION:

- Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.

To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.

Lighting up the front lamp (Fig. 4)

CAUTION:

• Do not look in the light or see the source of light directly.
  Pull the switch trigger to light up the lamp. The lamp keeps on lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled. The lamp goes out 10 - 15 seconds after releasing the trigger.

NOTE:

- Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower the illumination.

Reversing switch action (Fig. 5)

CAUTION:

• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool.
• When not operating the tool, always set the reversing switch lever to the neutral position.

This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for counterclockwise rotation.

When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position, the switch trigger cannot be pulled.

Speed change (Fig. 6)

CAUTION:

• Always set the speed change lever fully to the correct position. If you operate the tool with the speed change lever positioned halfway between the "1" side and "2" side, the tool may be damaged.
• Do not use the speed change lever while the tool is running. The tool may be damaged.

To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then slide the speed change lever to the "2" side for high speed or "1" side for low speed. Be sure that the speed change lever is set to the correct position before operation. Use the right speed for your job.

Adjusting the fastening torque (Fig. 7)

The fastening torque can be adjusted in 17 steps by turning the adjusting ring so that its graduations are aligned with the pointer on the tool body. The fastening torque is minimum when the number 1 is aligned with the pointer, and maximum when the marking is aligned with the pointer.

The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set at the number 1 to 16. The clutch is designed not to slip at the 28 marking.

Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your material or a piece of duplicate material to determine which torque level is required for a particular application.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

- Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the tool.

Installing or removing driver bit or drill bit (Fig. 8)

Turn the sleeve counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go. Turn the sleeve clockwise to tighten the chuck.

To remove the bit, turn the sleeve counterclockwise.

Hook (Fig. 9)

The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool. This can be installed on either side of the tool. To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool housing on either side and then secure it with a screw. To remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.

Installing bit holder (Optional accessory) (Fig. 10)

Fit the bit holder into the protrusion at the tool foot on either right or left side and secure it with a screw. When not using the driver bit, keep it in the bit holders. Bits 45 mm long can be kept there.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it locks in place. If you can see the red part on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely. Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.

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.

Screwdriving operation (Fig. 11)

CAUTION:

- Adjust the adjusting ring to the proper torque level for your work.

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.

CAUTION:

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

NOTE:

- When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to make driving easier and to prevent splitting of the workpiece. See the chart.

Nominal diameter of wood screw (mm)	Recommended size of pilot hole (mm)
3.1 2.0 - 2.2
3.5 2.2 - 2.5
3.8 2.5 - 2.8
4.5 2.9 - 3.2
4.8 3.1 - 3.4
5.1 3.3 - 3.6
5.5 3.7 - 3.9
5.8 4.0 - 4.2
6.1 4.2 - 4.4

Drilling operation

First, turn the adjusting ring so that the pointer 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 bit into the workpiece.

Drilling in metal

To prevent the 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 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 bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool.
• There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole break through. Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break through the workpiece.
• A stuck 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.
• Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device.
• 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.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 12)

Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.

Use a screwdriver to remove two screws then remove the rear cover. (Fig. 13)

Raise the arm part of the spring and then place it in the recessed part of the housing with a slotted bit screwdriver of slender shaft or the like. (Fig. 14)

Use pliers to remove the carbon brush caps of the carbon brushes. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and replace the carbon brush caps in reverse. (Fig. 15)

Make sure that the carbon brush caps have fit into the holes in brush holders securely. (Fig. 16)

Reinstall the rear cover and tighten two screws securely. To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
