Installing hook

WARNING:
Use the hanging/mounting parts
for their intended purposes only, e.g., hanging the
tool on a tool belt between jobs or work intervals.
WARNING:
Be careful not to overload the
hook as too much force or irregular overburden
may cause damage to the tool resulting in per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION:
When installing the hook, always
secure it with the screw firmly. If not secured firmly,
the hook may come off from the tool and result in the
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Make sure to hang the tool
securely before releasing your hold. Insufficient
or unbalanced hooking may cause falling off and you
may be injured.
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool. To install
the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool housing on
either side and then secure it with a screw. To remove,
loosen the screw and then take it out.

Using hole
WARNING:
Never use the hanging hole for
a purpose other than its intended purpose; for
instance, tethering the tool at high location.
Bearing stress in a heavily loaded hole may cause
damage to the hole, resulting in injuries to you or
people around or below you.
Use the hanging hole at the bottom rear of the tool to
hang the tool on a wall using a hanging cord or similar
strings.

Installing driver bit holder
Optional accessory
Fit the driver bit holder into the protrusion at the tool foot
on either right or left side and secure it with a screw.
When not using the driver bit, keep it in the driver bit
holders. Driver bits 45 mm-long (1-3/4") can be kept
there.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Switch off the tool immediately if
the tool malfunctions, foreign matter enters the
tool, or abnormal noises are heard. Contact Makita
service center or your local dealer to have the tool
serviced or repaired.
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the grip and the
other hand on the handle to control the twisting action.

NOTICE:
When the speed slows down extremely,
reduce the load or stop the tool to avoid the tool
damage.
NOTICE:
Do not cover vents, or it may cause over-
heating and damage to the tool.

Screwdriving operation

NOTICE:
Adjust the dial to the proper torque level
for your work.
NOTICE:
Make sure that the driver bit is inserted
straight in the screw head, or the screw and/or driver
bit may be damaged.
First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the
arrow on the tool body points to the
adjust the torque level.
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. Release the switch trigger
as soon as the tool stops the rotation automatically and
the green light turns on for 5 seconds.
NOTE: When driving a wood screw, pre-drill a pilot
hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw. It makes driving
easier and prevents splitting of the workpiece.
NOTE: In a cold environment, the tool may stop at
lower torque level depending on circumstances.
Hammer drilling operation
CAUTION:
There is a tremendous and sud-
den twisting force exerted on the tool/drill bit
at the time of hole breakthrough, when the hole
becomes clogged with chips and particles, or
when striking reinforcing rods embedded in the
concrete.
First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the
arrow on the tool body points to the
Be sure to use a tungsten-carbide tipped drill bit.
Position the drill bit at the desired location for the hole,
then pull the switch trigger. Do not force the tool. Light
pressure gives best results. Keep the tool in position
and prevent it from slipping away from the hole.
Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes
clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at
an idle, then remove the drill bit partially from the hole.
By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned
out and normal drilling may be resumed.
