Additional Safety Rules - Makita DP3002 Instruction Manual

20. Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an autho-
rized service center unless otherwise indicated else-
where in this instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by an authorized service center.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
21. Warning
The use of any other accessory or attachment other
than recommended in this operating instruction or
the catalog may present a risk of personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired by an expert
This electric appliance is in accordance with the rel-
evant safety rules. Repairing of electric appliances
may be carried out only by experts otherwise it may
cause considerable danger for the user.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tools
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact 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 loca-
tions.
3. Hold the tool firmly.
4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
6. Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece imme-
diately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the side grip, bit
or other accessories.
Installing or removing drill bit
For DP3002, DP4000, DP4002 (Fig. 1)
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 it to the original position.
For DP3003, DP4001, DP4003 (Fig. 2)
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.
Switch action (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Tool speed is
increased by increasing pressure on the trigger. Release
the trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the trigger and then push
the lock lever upward. To stop the tool from the locked
position, pull the trigger fully, then release it.
Reversing switch action (Fig. 4)
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
tion (A side) for clockwise rotation or the
side) for counterclockwise rotation.
Side grip (auxiliary handle) (Fig. 5)
ENB001-1
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.
Depth gauge (optional accessory) (Fig. 6)
The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of uni-
form 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 gear housing.
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 excep-
tions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
Holding tool (Fig. 7 & 8)
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.
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 perfor-
mance and shorten the service life of the tool.
• There is a tremendous 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.
