SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(For All Tools)

WARNING: WHEN USING ELECTRIC TOOLS, BASIC SAFE-

TY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO

REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, AND PER-

SONAL INJURY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

1.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

2.CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Don't expose power tools to rain. Don't use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

3.KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from work area. Don't let visitors contact tool or extension cord.

4.STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high or locked-up place - out of reach of children.

5.DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

6.USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended.

7 . DRESS PROPERLY. Don't wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

8 . USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.

9.DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

IO. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

11.DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

12.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing acces- sories. Inspect tool cords periodicallyand if damaged, have repaired by autho- rized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

13.DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, and when chang- ing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.

14.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

15.AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be sure switch is OFF when plugging in.

16.OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.

17.STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Don't operate tool when you are tired.

18.CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized serv- ice center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Don't use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.

19.GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

20.REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacementparts.

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.1 be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user - as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

FOR CHARGER AND TOOL

1.The Charger and the tool are specifically designed to work together. Do not attempt to charge any other cordless tool with this Charger. Do not attempt to charge the tool with any other charger.

2.Do not charge the tool when temperature is BELOW 10??C (5OoF)or ABOVE 45OC (113OF).

3.Do not use charger in damp or wet locations.

4.Do not attempt to use a step-up transformer, an engine generator or DC pow- er receptacle.

5.Do not store the tool in locations where the temperature may reach or ex- ceed 5OoC (122OF).

6.Do not incinerate the tool even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The tool can explode in a fire.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1.Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, because it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet.

2.Always be sure you have a firm footing.

Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.

3.Hold the tool firmly.

4.Keep hands away from rotating parts.

5.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 insulated grasping surfaces t o prevent electric shock if you drill into a "live" wire.

6.Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.

7.Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece immediately after operation: they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Charging

Connect the charging plug to the charg- ing 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 be- fore use.

Do not operate the tool during charging.

Overcharging more than 2 days consid- erably shortens the battery service life.

Always unplug the charger after completing the charge.

When you charge a new tool or a tool which has not been used for a long period, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the tool fully after discharging it almost completely a couple of times.

Installing or removingdriver bit

CAUTION :

When installing or removingthe 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.

6

Switch action

To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trigger to stop.

Reversingswitch action

Reversing swit

CAUTION :

0 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.

7

Drilling operation

Drilling in wood

When drilling in wood, best results are obtained with wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw makesdrilling easier by pulling the bit into the workpiece.

Drilling in metal

To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a 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 pres- sure 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 vise or similar hold-down device.

Overload protector

The overload protector automatically cuts out to break the circuit whenever heavy work i s prolonged. Wait 20-30 seconds before resumingoperation.

MA1NTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool i s switched off before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
