Makita 6796D Manual De Instrucciones página 5

A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a break-
down.
6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50°C (122°F).
7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if
it is severely damaged or is completely worn
out. The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
8. Be careful not to drop, shake or strike battery.
9. Do not charge inside a box or container of any
kind. The battery must be placed in a well
ventilated area during charging.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR TOOL
1. Be aware that this tool is always in an operat-
ing condition, because it does not have to be
plugged into an electrical outlet.
2. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a
''live'' wire will also make exposed metal parts
of the tool ''live'' and shock the operator.
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing battery cartridge
(Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or
removal of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, pull out the set
plate on the tool and grasp both sides of the
cartridge while withdrawing it from the tool.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on
the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing
and slip it into place. Snap the set plate back into
place. Be sure to close the set plate fully before
using the tool.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery car-
tridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
Charging
Before using battery charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on the battery charger.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Always stop tool operation and charge the battery
cartridge when you notice that the warning lamp
lightened up.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-
ture at 10°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F).
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
Installing or removing bit (Fig. 2)
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before installing or
removing the bit.
Use only the driver bit or socket bit shown in the figure
below.
Do not use any other driver bit or socket bit.
ENB026-1
To install the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the
arrow and insert the bit into the sleeve as far as it will
go. Then release the sleeve to secure the bit.
To remove the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of
the arrow and pull the bit out firmly.
Adjusting the fastening torque (Fig. 3)
Use an optional adjust grip to adjust the fastening
torque.
Insert the pins of the adjust grip into the holes in the
front of the tool. And then, turn the adjust grip so that
the torque gauge shows the desired torque by one of
the numbers from 1 to 12.
The number provides fastening torque in newton-
meter (N . m), and see below for the standard fastening
torque;
6796D/FD: 1 – 5 (Nzm)
6797D/FD: 2 – 8 (Nzm)
6798D/FD: 6 – 12 (Nzm)
After completion of the adjustment, always make trial
fastening about twenty times in order to keep stability
of torque. Then, check the fastening torque with a
torque tester before starting operation.
Switch action (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the ''OFF'' position when
released.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the
trigger to stop.
Lighting up front lamps (Fig. 5)
(for 6796FD/6797FD/6798FD only)
Pull the trigger to light up the front lamps. And the
lamps keep on lighting while the trigger is being
pulled. The light automatically goes out 10 to 20
seconds after the trigger is released.
