First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the arrow on the tool body points to the ⚙ marking, and adjust the torque level.

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 tool stops the rotation automatically and the green light turns on for 5 seconds.

NOTE: When driving a wood screw, pre-drill a pilot hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier and prevents splitting of the workpiece.

NOTE: In a cold environment, the tool may stop at lower torque level depending on circumstances.

Hammer drilling operation

CAUTION: There is a tremendous and sudden twisting force exerted on the tool/drill bit at the time of hole breakthrough, when the hole becomes clogged with chips and particles, or when striking reinforcing rods embedded in the concrete.

First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the arrow on the tool body points to the marking. Be sure to use a tungsten-carbide tipped drill bit. Position the drill bit at the desired location for the hole, then pull the switch trigger. Do not force the tool. Light pressure gives best results. Keep the tool in position and prevent it from slipping away from the hole. Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at an idle, then remove the drill bit partially from the hole. By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out and normal drilling may be resumed.

Blow-out bulb

Optional accessory

After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the dust out of the hole.

▶ Fig.18: 1. Blow-out bulb

Drilling operation

First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the arrow 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 drill bit into the workpiece.

Drilling in metal

To prevent the drill 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 drill bit in the indentation and start drilling.

Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. Some iron and brass which should be drilled dry are exceptions.

⚠️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 drill bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool.
CAUTION: Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the drill bit begins to break through the workpiece. There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/drill bit at the time of hole break through.
⚠️CAUTION: A stuck drill 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.
⚠️CAUTION: Always secure workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device.
⚠️CAUTION: 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.

NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should

be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
