The hammering force can be changed in three steps:
hard, medium and soft.
This allows a tightening suitable to the work.
Every time the hammering force button
the number of blows changes in three steps.
For approximately one minute after releasing the switch
trigger, the hammering force can be changed.
NOTE:
• When all lamps on the switch panel go out, the tool is
turned off to save the battery power. The hammer force
grade can be checked by pulling the switch trigger to
the extent that the tool does not operate.
• During the operation of switch trigger, the hammer
force grade cannot be changed.
Empty signal for remaining battery capacity (Fig. 7)
Pulling the trigger switch when the remaining battery
capacity becomes very low makes LED indicator flicker.
If the tool is used continuously with the LED indicator
flickering up and the battery power is almost used up, the
LED indicator will light up and the tool itself will stop.
Please refer to the following table for the LED indicator
status and the remaining battery capacity.

NOTE:
• When all lamps on the switch panel go out, the tool is
turned off to save the battery power. The remaining
battery capacity can be checked by pulling the switch
trigger to the extent that the tool does not operate.
• All of the lamps on the switch panel go out approxi-
mately one minute after releasing the switch trigger.
• When the tool temperature is high, the LED indicator
may flicker or light up.
• If the LED indicator lights up and the tool stops even
with a recharged battery cartridge, cool down the tool
temperature fully. When the status is still unchanged,
stop using and have the tool repaired by a Makita local
service center.

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work
on the tool.
Installing or removing driver bit or socket bit
Use only the driver bit or socket bit shown in the figure.
(Fig. 8)
Do not use any other driver bit or socket bit.
For tool without one-touch type (Fig. 9)
To install the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the
arrow and insert the bit into the sleeve as far as it will go.
Then release the sleeve to secure the bit.
For tool with one-touch type (Fig. 10)
To install the bit, insert the bit into the sleeve as far as it
will go.
To remove the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the
arrow and pull the bit out.
NOTE:
• If the bit is not inserted deep enough into the sleeve,
the sleeve will not return to its original position and the
bit will not be secured. In this case, try re-inserting the
bit according to the instructions above.
• When it is difficult to insert the bit, pull the sleeve and
insert it into the sleeve as far as it will go.
• After inserting the bit, make sure that it is firmly
secured. If it comes out, do not use it.
Hook (Fig. 11)
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 hous-
ing on either side and then secure it with a screw. To
remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.
