Operation - Makita DTS130 Instruction Manual

Reversing switch action
► Fig.6: 1. Reversing switch lever
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction
of rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the
A side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for coun-
terclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral posi-
tion, the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before

operation.

• Use the reversing switch only after the tool
comes to a complete stop. Changing the direc-
tion of rotation before the tool stops may dam-
age the tool.
• When not operating the tool, always set the
reversing switch lever to the neutral position.
Characteristics of Cordless Oil-
impulse Driver
The Makita Cordless Oil-impulse Driver is a hydrauli-
cally operated impact tool using oil viscosity to produce
impacts. Since oil viscosity changes with the tempera-
ture, be aware of the following two points when operat-
ing the tool.
1. Avoid using the tool below -5 degrees of tempera-
ture. When the tool temperature goes down below
the degrees, this may cause damage to the motor
of tool due to poor impulse.
2. When the tool becomes too hot, it may take longer
to set screws.
3. The tool can overheat, causing a failure or hand
burn if you operate it continuously for long hours.
Let the tool cool off for more than 30 minutes
before changing batteries during a long, continu-
ous job.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before carrying
out any work on the tool.
