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. 

Screwdriving operation 

   

012799 

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.
