Makita 6343D Betriebsanleitung Seite 6

CAUTION:
• The battery charger Model DC1801 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.
• 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.
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.
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.
Side grip (auxiliary handle) (Fig. 5)
Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety.
Install the side grip so that the teeth on the grip fit in
between the protrusions on the tool barrel. Then
tighten the grip by turning clockwise at the desired
position. It may be swung 360° so as to be secured at
any position.
Adjusting depth of drilling (Fig. 6)
The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of
uniform depth. Loosen the thumb screw and insert the
depth gauge into the hole in the side grip. Adjust the
depth gauge to the desired depth and tighten the
thumb screw.

Switch action (Fig. 7)
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. 8)
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before opera-
tion.
• 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.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direc-
tion 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. 9)
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.
