Changing the impact force (impact driver mode " ") (Fig. 9)
Impact force grade
displayed on panel
Hard
Medium
Soft
The impact force can be changed in three steps: hard,
medium and soft.
This allows a tightening suitable to the work.
Every time the button
grade changes in three steps.
For approximately one minute after releasing the switch
trigger, the impact force can be changed.
NOTE:
• During the operation of switch trigger, the impact force
grade cannot be changed.
Changing the torque setting (screwdriver mode
" ")
The fastening torque can be adjusted by pressing the
button in screwdriver mode.
The numbers on the LED display shows torque setting.
The fastening torque is minimum at the number 1 and
maximum at the number 9. The indication "P" is a special
mode for fastening self drilling screws.
Every time the button
changes from 1 to 9 and P, and then returns to 1.
The torque setting changes fast by keeping pressing the
button.
P mode is suitable for fastening self drilling screws into
steel plates in the following conditions.
• With speed change lever at "2" side, fastening max.
4 mm screw into total max. 3.2 mm steel plates.
• With speed change lever at "1" side, fastening max.
5 mm screw.
Before an 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.
First, try to fasten the screw at "1". Then increase the
number to continue fastening. Hold the tool firmly during
operation.
CAUTION:
• Don't fasten the machine screw on P mode. It may twist
your wrist suddenly and result in personal injury.

Application
Tightening when force and
speed are desired.
Tightening when a good fin-
ishing is needed.
Tightening when excessive
tightening need to be avoided
because of potentially
clogged female screw and
broken or damaged screw
head.
NOTE:
• Make sure to check the number on LED display before
operation. If the number is not indicated, contact your
nearest Makita service center.
• When the remaining battery capacity gets low in the
screwdriver mode, the light flashes a few times when
fastening the screw completely. In this case, recharge
the battery. If you keep operating, you may not obtain
the desired torque.
• During pulling the switch trigger, the torque setting can-
not be changed.
• For approximately one minute after releasing the
switch trigger, the torque setting can be changed. If you
want to change the torque setting after that, pull the
switch trigger again.
• The number of torque setting does not mean specific
torque rate.
