CORDLESS HAMMER DRIVER DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A battery short can cause a large current flow, overheating, possible burns and even a breakdown.
Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped with a protection system. This system automatically cuts off power to the tool to extend battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following conditions:
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
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.
To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then slide the speed change lever to the "2" side for high speed or "1" 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.
This tool employs an action mode changing ring. Select one of the three modes suitable for your work needs by using this ring.
For rotation only, turn the ring so that the arrow on the tool body points toward the mark on the ring.
For rotation with hammering, turn the ring so that the arrow points toward the mark on the ring.
For rotation with clutch, turn the ring so that the arrow points toward the mark on the ring.
The fastening torque can be adjusted in 16 steps by turning the adjusting ring so that its graduations are aligned with the arrow on the tool body. The fastening torque is minimum when the number 1 is aligned with the arrow, and maximum when the number 16 is aligned with the arrow.
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.
Turn the sleeve counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go. Turn the sleeve clockwise to tighten the chuck.
To remove the bit, turn the sleeve counterclockwise.
First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the arrow on the tool body points to the marking. The adjusting ring can be aligned in any torque levels for this operation.
Be sure to use a tungsten-carbide tipped bit.
Position the 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 bit partially from the hole. By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out and normal drilling may be resumed.
After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the dust out of the hole.
First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the arrow on the tool body points to the marking. Adjust the adjusting ring to the proper torque level for your work. Then proceed as follows.
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 clutch cuts in.
NOTE:
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 |
First, turn the adjusting ring so that the pointer 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 bit into the workpiece.
Drilling in metal
To prevent the 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 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.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
If you need any assistance for more details regarding these accessories, ask your local Makita Service Center.
