Operation - Makita DHP446 Betriebsanleitung

Installing or removing the driver bit or
drill bit (Fig. 9)
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 the hook (Fig. 10)
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.
Installing the bit holder (Optional
accessory) (Fig. 11)
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.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
• Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it
locks in place. If you can see the red part on the upper
side of the button, it is not locked completely. Insert it
fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it may
accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or
someone around you.
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the grip and the
other hand on the bottom of the battery cartridge to
control the twisting action.
Hammer drilling operation
CAUTION:
• There is a tremendous and sudden twisting force
exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole break-
through, 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
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.
Blow-out bulb (Optional accessory)
(Fig. 12)
After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the
dust out of the hole.

marking. The adjusting
Screwdriving operation (Fig. 13)
First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the arrow
on the tool body points to 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.
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the
screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.
NOTE:
• When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to make
driving easier and to prevent splitting of the workpiece.

Drilling operation
First, turn the adjusting ring so that the pointer points to
the marking. 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 with a
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.
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 to make a
hole, make an indentation with a center-punch and
marking. Adjust the
