rods embedded in the concrete.
First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the
arrow on the tool body points to the
marking. The
adjusting 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.

After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the
dust out of the hole.

First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the
arrow on the tool body 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.
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 screw, predrill a pilot hole 2/3
the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier
and prevents 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.
•
Do not pull the switch trigger repeatedly when the
motor is locked. It may damage the tool.
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
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.
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.
