-
Do not charge the tool when temperature is BELOW 10°C (50OF)or ABOVE 45OC (113OF).
-
Do not use charger in damp or wet locations.
-
Do not attempt t o use a step-up transformer, an engine generator or DC
power receptacle. -
Do not store the tool in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 5OoC (122OF).
-
Do not incinerate the tool even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The tool can explode in a fire.
-
Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, because it does not have t o be plugged into an electrical outlet.
-
Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations. -
Hold the tool firmly.
-
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
-
When drilling into walls, floors or wherever “live” electrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL!
Hold the tool only by the plastic handle or plastic tool body to prevent electric shock if you drill into a “live” wire. -
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
-
Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
Charging
Connect the charging plug to the charging connector, then plug in the charger
to the power receptacle. Charging takes 3 hours.
CAUTION:
- The battery in your new tool is not fully charged. You will need to charge it before use.
- Do not operate the tool during charging.
- Overcharging more than 2 days considerably shortens the battery service life. Always unplug the charger after completing the charge.
Installing or removing driver bit
CAUTION : When installing or removing the bit, be careful not to touch the
trigger switch.
To install the bit, place it in the chuck as far as it will go. Tighten the
chuck by hand. Place the chuck key in each of the
three holes and tighten clockwise. Be sure to tighten all three chuck holes
evenly. To remove the bit, turn the chuck key counterclockwise in just one
hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.
After use, return the chuck key to the storage cavity on the tool.
Holding tool
When drilling a large diameter hole, hold the tool firmly with both hands.
Switch action To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trigger
to stop.
Reversing switch action
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of rotation. Slide
the reversing switch to the right for clockwise rotation or to the left for
counterclockwise.
CAUTION :
- Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
- Use the reversing switch only when the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation before the tool stops may ruin the tool.
Drilling operation
- Drilling in wood When drilling in wood, 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 hole, make an indentation with a centerpunch and hammer a t 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.
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 a t the time of hole breakthrough.
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 vies or similar hold-down device.
Screwdriving operation
Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply pressure to the
tool. Start the tool. Release the switch trigger just as the screw bottoms
out. If the switch trigger is not released, the screw may strip out the hole
or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION : Always be sure that the tool is switched off before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
To maintain product SAFETY and Rollability, repairs, maintenance or adjustment
should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
