WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
1.Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite acci- dents.
2.Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distrac- tions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
4.Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified elec- trician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insula-
tion eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
5.Avoid body contact with grounded sur- faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

6.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7.Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
8.When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
Personal Safety
9.Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
10.Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth- ing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
11.Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
12.Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
13.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
14.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
Tool Use and Care
15.Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
16.Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
17.Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
18.Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
19.Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20.Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
21.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool ser- viced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
22.Use only accessories that are recom- mended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
23.Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or main- tenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
24.When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num- ber, the heavier the cord.
Table 1: Minimum gage for cord
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to drill safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1.Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a ???live??? wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool ???live??? and shock the operator.
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.Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when
6.Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
7.Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow mate- rial supplier safety data.

Holding tool
When drilling a large hole with a hole saw, etc., the side grip (auxiliary handle) should be used as a brace to maintain safe control of the tool.
Grasp the rear handle and the front grip firmly when starting or stopping the tool, since there is an initial and final reaction.
When drilling action is forward (clockwise), the tool should be braced to prevent a counterclockwise reaction if the bit should bind. When reversing, brace the tool to prevent a clockwise reaction. If the bit must be removed from a partially drilled hole, be sure the tool is properly braced before revers- ing.
Drilling operation
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 a hole, make an indentation with a
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 twisting force exerted on the tool/ bit at 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.
???Avoid drilling in material that you suspect contains hidden nails or other things that may cause the bit to bind or break.
CAUTION:
???Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
Replacing carbon brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only iden- tical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
