Maintenance; Troubleshooting - Makita BTD132 Instruction Manual

Hold the tool firmly and place the point of the driver bit in
the screw head. Apply forward pressure to the tool to the
extent that the bit will not slip off the screw and turn the
tool on to start operation.
NOTE:
Use the proper bit for the head of the screw/bolt
•
that you wish to use.
When fastening screw M8 or smaller, choose a
•
proper hammer force carefully adjust pressure on
the switch trigger so that the screw is not
damaged.
Hold the tool pointed straight at the screw.
•
If the hammering force is too strong you tighten the
•
screw for a time longer than shown in the figures,
the screw or the point of the driver bit may be
overstressed, stripped, damaged, etc. Before
starting your job, always perform a test operation
to determine the proper fastening time for your
screw.
The fastening torque is affected by a wide variety of
factors including the following. After fastening, always
check the torque with a torque wrench.
1. When the battery cartridge is discharged almost
completely, voltage will drop and the fastening
torque will be reduced.
2. Driver bit or socket bit
Trouble
The tool stops
during operation.
009217
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers,
always using Makita replacement parts.
Light status
Flickers twice per
second.
Flickers three times per
second.
(LED indicator for
empty signal for
remaining battery
capacity also flickers.)
Flickers five times per
second.
Flickers once
per second.
Not flickers
Failure to use the correct size driver bit or socket
bit will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
3. Bolt
Even though the torque coefficient and the
•
class of bolt are the same, the proper
fastening torque will differ according to the
diameter of bolt.
Even though the diameters of bolts are the
•
same, the proper fastening torque will differ
according to the torque coefficient, the class of
bolt and the bolt length.
4. The manner of holding the tool or the material of
driving position to be fastened will affect the
torque.
5. Operating the tool at low speed will cause a
reduction in the fastening torque.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance except for the
following troubleshooting related to the light.

Troubleshooting

Steps to be taken
The tool temperature is high.Cool down it fully.
The tool restarts after its temperature becomes low.
Remaining battery capacity level is low. Charge the
battery cartridge.When the LED indicator still flickers
even after charging the battery cartridge, stop using
and have the tool repaired by a Makita local service
center.
Use the tool with the motor not locked.If the motor
remains locked, stop using and have the tool
repaired by a Makita local service center.
Stop using and have the tool repaired by a Makita
local service center.
The tool stops when continuing to pull the switch
trigger for more than approximately 2 minutes.
Release the switch trigger.
