Installing or removing driver bit or drill bit
Fig.12
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.
Installing bit holder
Fig.13
Fit the bit holder into the protrusion at the tool foot on
either right or left side and secure it with a screw.
When not using the driver bit, keep it in the bit holders.
Bits 45 mm long can be kept there.
Hook
Fig.14
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool.
To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool
housing on either side and then secure it with a screw.
To remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.

OPERATION

Fig.15
Screwdriving operation
First, slide the action mode change lever so that it 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:
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 screw, predrill a pilot hole 2/3
•
the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier
and prevents splitting of the workpiece.
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
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.
First, slide the action mode change lever so that it points to
the marking. The adjusting ring can be aligned in any torque
levels for this operation. Then proceed as follows.
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 break through. 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 attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
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 Service Centers,
always using Makita replacement parts.
