Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged. Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge. Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. 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.
4. Charge the Nickel Metal Hydride battery cartridge when you do not use it for more than six months.

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

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

For Models BFT020F, BFT021F, BFT040F, BFT080F, BFT122F (Fig. 1)

- To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the cartridge.

- To insert 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 not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.

For Models BFT042F, BFT081F, BFT123F (Fig. 2)

• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
• To insert 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 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.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.

Refresh charging

Refreshing battery adapter (optional accessory) can refresh an inactive battery cartridge.

• Refresh charging should be done once a week.
• When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge that has not been used for a long time, it may not accept a full charge. In this case, refresh charging must be done. The battery cartridge may decrease the tool performance, because the chemical substance of the battery cartridge is inactive.

Checking the remaining battery capacity (Fig. 3)

For BH9020A, BH9033A

When charging

When the charging begins, the first (far left) indicating lamp begins to flicker. Then, as charging proceeds, the other lamps light, one after the other, to indicate the battery capacity.

When using

When the tool is switched on, the lamps will light after 2 seconds to indicate the remaining battery capacity. When the tool is switched off, the light goes out. If the battery has not been used for a long time, or is needed refresh charging, the orange lamp begins to flicker. Use Makita refreshing adapter to refresh the battery.

CAUTION:

- A battery cartridge extracted from the charger that has been unplugged with the battery cartridge inserted does not indicate the battery capacity due to its protective function even if the tool is switched on after the battery insertion into the tool.

At this time, recharge it for about five seconds before use.

NOTE:

- Please contact Makita Authorized Service Center if the warning lamp of the battery cartridge does not light up when using or charging.

Switch action (Fig. 4)

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. Release the switch trigger to stop.

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.

Lighting up the lamps (Fig. 6)

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 light automatically goes out 10 seconds after the switch trigger is released.

- 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. 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

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.

- Use of a low temperature conditioned battery cartridge may sometimes give warning for battery cartridge capacity by warning lamp and beeper which makes the tool stop immediately. In this case, the range of fastening capacity may be inferior to those shown in the above even if a charged battery cartridge is used.

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.
