Maintenance - Makita 6820v Instruction Manual

Reversing switch action (Fig. 6)
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.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to the "FWD"
position for clockwise rotation or the "REV" position for
counterclockwise rotation.
Operation (Fig. 7)
Fit the screw on the point of the bit and place the point of
the screw on the surface of the workpiece to be fastened.
Apply pressure to the tool and start it. Withdraw the tool
as soon as the screw bottoms out.
CAUTION:
• Use the proper bit for the head of the screw that you
wish to use.
• When fitting the screw onto the point of the bit, be care-
ful not to push in on the screw. If the screw is pushed
in, the clutch will engage and the screw will rotate sud-
denly. This could damage a workpiece or cause an
injury.
NOTE:
Make sure that the bit is inserted straight in the screw
head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, mainte-
nance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita
Authorized Service Center.
