ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL

ENB022-1

1. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, because it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet.
2. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

Charging (Fig. 2)

Plug the battery charger into the proper A/C voltage source. The charging light will flash in green color. Insert the battery cartridge so that the plus and minus terminals on the battery cartridge are on the same sides as their respective markings on the battery charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that it rests on the charger port floor. When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will change from green to red and charging will begin. The charging light will remain lit steadily during charging. When the charging light color changes from red to green, the charging cycle is complete. If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger after the charging cycle is complete, the charger will switch into its “trickle charge (maintenance charge)” mode. After charging, unplug the charger from the power source.

Refer to the table below for the charging time.

Battery type Capacity (Ah) Number of cells Charging time
1222	(Ni-cd)	2.0	10	Approx.45
1233	(Ni-MH)	2.2	10	Approx.
1234	(Ni-MH)	2.6	10	Approx.60
1235	(Ni-MH)	3.0	10	Approx.
1422	(Ni-cd)	2.0	12	Approx.45
1433	(Ni-MH)	2.2	12	Approx.
1434	(Ni-MH)	2.6	12	Approx.60
1435	(Ni-MH)	3.0	12	Approx.

CAUTION:

• The battery charger is for charging Makita battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other manufacturer's batteries.

• When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used for a long period of time, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging it completely and recharging a couple of times.

• Always be sure you have a firm footing.

• Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.
• Hole the tool firmly.
• Keep hands away from rotating parts.
• Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
• Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)

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

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

• If you charge a battery cartridge from a just-operated tool or a battery cartridge which has been left in a location exposed to direct sunlight or heat for a long time, the charging light may flash in red color. If this occurs, wait for a while. Charging will begin after the battery cartridge cools. The battery cartridge will cool faster if you remove the battery cartridge from the battery charger.

• If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red color, a problem exists and charging is not possible. The terminals on the charger or battery cartridge are clogged with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.

Trickle charge (Maintenance charge)

If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger to prevent spontaneous discharging after full charge, the charger will switch into its “trickle charge (maintenance charge)” mode and keep the battery cartridge fresh and fully charged.

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.

1. 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.

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

Installing or removing driver bit or drill bit (Fig. 3 & 4)

Important:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before installing or removing the bit.

Hold the ring and turn the sleeve counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go. Hold the ring firmly and turn the sleeve clockwise to tighten the chuck.

To remove the bit, hold the ring and turn the sleeve counterclockwise. When not using the driver bit, keep it in the bit holders. Bits 45 mm long can be kept there.

Switch action (Fig. 5)

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 trigger. Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the trigger. Release the trigger to stop.

Reversing switch action (Fig. 6)

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

Speed change (Fig. 7)

To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then slide the speed change lever to the "II" side for high speed or "I" 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.

CAUTION:

• Always set the speed change lever fully to the correct position. If you operate the tool with the speed change lever positioned half-way between the “I” side and “II” side, the tool may be damaged.
• Do not use the speed change lever while the tool is running. The tool may be damaged.

Adjusting the fastening torque (Fig. 8)

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 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.

NOTE:

• The adjusting ring does not lock when the pointer is positioned only half-way between the graduations.
• Do not operate the tool with the adjusting ring set between the number 16 and the ⏻ marking. The tool may be damaged.

Screwdriving operation (Fig. 9)

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 trigger as soon as the clutch cuts in.

NOTE:

• Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.
• When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to make driving easier and to prevent splitting of the workpiece. See the chart below.

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

- 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.

Drilling operation

First, turn the adjusting ring so that the pointer on the tool body points to the ⏻ marking. Then proceed as follows.

- Drilling in wood

When drilling in wood, 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 centerpunch 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 breakthrough. 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 carrying out any work on the tool.

Replacement of carbon brushes (Fig. 10 & 11)

Replace carbon brushes when they are worn down to the limit mark. Both identical carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time.

To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita Authorized Service Center.
