WARNING:
The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value(s) depending on the ways in which
the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece
is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).

Cordless drill safety warnings
Safety instructions for all operations
1.
Use the auxiliary handle(s).
Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
2.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
3.
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
4.
Hold the tool firmly.
5.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
6.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
7.
Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
8.
Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
9.
If the drill bit cannot be loosened even you
open the jaws, use pliers to pull it out.
In such a
case, pulling out the drill bit by hand may result in
injury by its sharp edge.
10.
If something wrong with the tool such as
abnormal sounds, stop operating immediately
and ask your local Makita Service Center for
repair.
11.
Before operation, make sure that there is no
buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe
or gas pipe in the ground.
Otherwise, the tool
may touch them, resulting an electric shock, elec-
trical leakage or gas leak.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
1.
Never operate at higher speed than the max-
imum speed rating of the drill bit.
At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting
in personal injury.
2.
Always start drilling at low speed and with the
bit tip in contact with the workpiece.
At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting
in personal injury.
3.
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure.
Bits can
bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting
in personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
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.
