Be careful not to drop or strike battery.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged.

Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.

Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

Charge the Nickel Metal Hydride battery cartridge when you do not use it for more than six months.

Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the switch lever actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released. • After switching off, always move the release button backward to prevent the tool from being accidentally switched on. To start the tool, move the release button forward and squeeze the switch lever. Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch lever. Release the switch lever to stop. •

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

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

This tool is equipped with an electric brake. If the tool consistently fails to quickly stop after switch trigger release, have tool serviced at a Makita service center.

Installing or removing battery cartridge

Reversing switch action

1. Battery cartridge

Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of the battery cartridge.

To remove the battery cartridge, pull out the set plate on the tool and grasp both sides of the cartridge while withdrawing it from the tool. To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Snap the set plate back into place. Be sure to close the set plate fully before using the tool to prevent the battery cartridge from accidentally falling out of the tool. Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.

This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of rotation. Slide the reversing switch to the A side (appear

“F” marking) for clockwise rotation or to the B side (appear “R” marking) for counterclockwise rotation.

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.

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 socket bit

The angle head can be adjusted 360°(8 positions in 45degree increments). To adjust it, loosen the hex bolt and remove the angle head.

Adjust the angle head to the desired position and reinstall it so that the teeth on the housing will match up with the grooves in the angle head. Then tighten the hex bolt to secure the angle head.

Straight head and ratchet head

(optional accessory)

Use only the driver bit or socket bit shown in the figure.

Do not use any other driver bit or socket bit. To install the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the arrow and insert the bit into the sleeve as far as it will go. Then release the sleeve to secure the bit.

Straight heads and ratchet heads are available as optional accessories for various applications on the job.

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

If the bit is not inserted deep enough into the sleeve, the sleeve will not return to its original position and the bit will not be secured. In this case, try re-inserting the bit according to the instructions above.

OPERATION Adjusting the angle head

The proper fastening torque may differ depending upon the kind or size of the screw/bolt, the material of the workpiece to be fastened, etc. Before starting your job, always perform a test operation to determine the proper fastening time for your screw.

Use the proper bit for the head of the screw/bolt that you wish to use.

Hold the tool pointed straight at the screw.

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. The fastening torque is affected by a wide variety of factors including the following. After fastening, always check the torque with a torque wrench. 1. When the battery cartridge is discharged almost completely, voltage will drop and the fastening torque will be reduced. 2. Driver bit or socket bit Failure to use the correct size driver bit or socket bit will cause a reduction in the fastening torque. 3. Bolt • Even though the torque coefficient and the class of bolt are the same, the proper fastening torque will differ according to the diameter of bolt. • Even though the diameters of bolts are the same, the proper fastening torque will differ according to the torque coefficient, the class of bolt and the bolt length. 4. The manner of holding the tool or the material of driving position to be fastened will affect the torque. 5. Operating the tool at low speed will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
