Maintenance; Optional Accessories - Makita DTP141RMJ Instruction Manual

For 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.
For 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.
NOTE:
• Choose suitable speed for the work load. Drilling over
the following capacity may damage the tool.

CAUTION:
• Adjust the number on the LED display to the proper
torque level for your work.
• Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the
screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.
• Hold the tool firmly. When the clutch cuts in or refasten-
ing, a sudden twisting force may occur and it can twist
your wrist.
Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and
apply pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then
increase the speed gradually.
NOTE:
• This tool employs an electronic clutch. The tool stops
automatically when the clutch cuts in. To keep operat-
ing, release the switch trigger once.
• When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to make
driving easier and to prevent splitting of the workpiece.
