FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking
function on the tool.
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, withdraw it from the
tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the car-
tridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with a little click. If not, it may accidentally fall out
of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around
you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Checking the remaining battery capacity (Fig. 2)
When charging
When the charging begins, the first (far left) indicator
lamp begins to flicker. Then, as charging proceeds, the
other lamps light, one after the other, to indicate the bat-
tery capacity.
When using
When the tool is switched on, the lamps will light to indi-
cate the remaining battery capacity. When the tool is
switched off, the light goes out after approx. 5 seconds.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the
tool.
Installing or removing driver bit or socket bit (Fig. 5 & 6)
Use only the driver bit or socket bit shown in the figure. Do not use any other driver bit or socket bit.
A = 17 mm
To install these types of bits, follow the procedure (1).
B = 14 mm
(Note) Makita bits are these types.
To install these types of bits, follow the procedure (2).
(Note) Bit-piece is necessary for installing the bit.
A = 12 mm
B = 9 mm
For European and North & South American countries.
Use only these types of bit. Follow the procedure (1).
(Note) Bit-piece is not necessary.
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.
2.
To install the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the arrow and insert the bit-piece and bit into the sleeve as far as
it will go. The bit-piece should be inserted into the sleeve with its pointed end facing in. 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.
NOTE:
• If the bit is not inserted deep enough into the sleeve, the sleeve will not return to its original position and the bit will
not be secured. In this case, try re-inserting the bit according to the instructions above.
If the battery has not been used for a long time, or is
needed refresh charging, the orange lamp begins to
flicker.
Use Makita refreshing adapter to refresh the battery.
CAUTION:
• A battery cartridge extracted from the charger that has
been unplugged with the battery cartridge inserted
does not work even if it is inserted in the tool. At this
time, recharge it for about five seconds before use.
Switch action (Fig. 3)
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 switch trigger. Tool speed
is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
Reversing switch action (Fig. 4)
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A
side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for counter-
clockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position,
the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage the tool.
• When not operating the tool, always set the reversing
switch lever to the neutral position.
