SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

discharged. Always stop tool operation and charge the bat- tery 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 tempera-

ture at 10°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F). Let a hot bat- tery 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 bat- tery 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 car- tridge.

• 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 bat- tery 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 protec- tive function even if the tool is switched on after the bat- tery 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.7 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 counter- clockwise 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. 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. LED indicator (Fig. 7) The lamp on the tool shows the following functions. Function Status Status of the LED indicator/beeper Action to be taken LED indicator Beeper Auto-stop fastening This function works when the tool has reached the preset fastening torque and normal tightening has been com- pleted. This helps overtightening to be avoided. Lights up in green for approximately one second.

Delayed re-start For approximately one second after auto-stop fastening, the tool does not start even if the switch trigger is pulled. Warning against insufficient fasten- ing Insufficient fastening has been per- formed when the switch trigger has released before reaching the preset fas- tening torque. Lights up in red. A long beep Retighten the screw. Warning for bat- tery cartridge capacity This indicates the appropriate time to replace the battery cartridge when the battery power becomes low. Flickers in red slowly. A series of long beeps Replace the battery with fully charged one. Checking the remaining battery capacity, Autostop This function works when the battery power is almost used up. At this time, tool stops immediately. Lights up in red. A long beep Replace the battery with fully charged one. Check the LED indicator, light and beeper operation This function works to check the proper operation of the LED indicator, light and beeper when a battery cartridge has been inserted into the tool. Lights up first in green, next red. (And then the light comes on.) A series of very short beeps

Anti-reset of controller This function works when an abnormal drop of the battery voltage occurs for some reason, and the tool stops. Flickers in red and green alternatively. A series of short beeps Replace the battery with fully charged one. Overheat This function works when the tempera- ture of the controller goes up very highly, and the tool stops. Flickers in red quickly. A series of short beeps Remove the battery cartridge immedi- ately and cool the tool down. Operation error of the switch trigger This function works to avoid the tool’s immediate start upon insertion of bat- tery cartridge into the tool with the switch trigger being pulled. Flickers in red and green alternatively. A series of short beeps Release the switch trigger.8 Adjusting the fastening torque (Fig. 8 & 9) When you wish to drive machine screws, wood screws, hex bolts, etc. with the predetermined torque, adjusting the fastening torque as follows.

1. First remove the battery cartridge from the tool.

2. Loosen and remove the screw that secures ring.

3. Rotate the ring in the front of the tool by hand so that a

hole can be seen below the ring.

4. Place the battery cartridge in place and pull the switch

trigger. Release it so that the adjusting ring rotates and becomes visible in the hole. And then remove the battery cartridge.

5. Use an optional adjusting grip to adjust the fastening

torque. Insert the pin of the adjusting grip into the hole in the front of the tool. And then, turn the adjusting grip clockwise to set a greater fastening torque, and coun- terclockwise to set a smaller fastening torque.

6. Align the yellow line with your desired number on the

fastening torque scale.

7. Insert the battery cartridge and be sure that a fasten-

ing torque has been set up by using a fastening torque tester.

8. Rotate the ring in front of the tool and then tighten the

screw to secure the ring. NOTE:

• Numbers on the fastening torque scale is a guideline to set up your desired fastening torque. ASSEMBLY CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat- tery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the tool. Installing or removing driver bit or socket bit (Fig. 10 & 11) 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. To remove the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the arrow and pull the bit out firmly. NOTE:

• 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 Screwdriving operation (Fig. 12) 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. 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 fasten- ing 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 bat- tery 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 Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. 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. (Fig. 20) Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 21) To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be per- formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
