Depth Gauge; Installing Side Grip; Assembly; Operation - Makita DP3003 Instruction Manual

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing side grip (auxiliary handle)
Fig.5
Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety.
Install the side grip so that the teeth on the grip fit in
between the protrusions on the tool barrel.
Then tighten the grip by turning clockwise at the desired
position. It may be swung 360° so as to be secured at
any position.
Installing or removing drill bit
For Model DP3003, DP4001, DP4003
Fig.6
Hold the ring and turn the sleeve counterclockwise to
open the chuck jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as it
will go. Hold the ring firmly and turn the sleeve clockwise
to tighten the chuck.
To remove the bit, hold the ring and turn the sleeve
counterclockwise.
For Model DP3002, DP4000, DP4002
Fig.7
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 using the chuck key, be sure to return to the original
position.
Depth gauge (optional accessory)
The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of
uniform depth. Loosen the side grip and insert the depth
gauge into the hole in the side grip. Adjust the depth
gauge to the desired depth and tighten the side grip.
NOTE:
The depth gauge cannot be used at the position
•
where the depth gauge strikes against the tool
body.

Always use the side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold
the tool by side grip and switch handle during operations.
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 reversing.
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 center-punch and hammer at
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 twisting force exerted on the
•
tool/bit at the time of hole breakthrough. Hold the
