FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking
function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of
the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the
tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with a little click. If you can see the red part on
the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it
may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Switch action (Fig. 2)
CAUTION:
• Before inserting the battery cartridge into 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 switch trigger. Tool speed
is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
Lighting up the front lamp (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
• Do not look in the light or see the source of light
directly.
Pull the switch trigger to light up the lamp. The lamp
keeps on lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled.
The light automatically goes out 10 – 15 seconds after
the switch trigger is released.
NOTE:
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be
careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower
the illumination.
Reversing switch action (Fig. 4)
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 counter-
clockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position,
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 direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage 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 hydraulically
operated impact tool using oil viscosity to produce
impacts. Since oil viscosity changes with the tempera-
ture, be aware of the following three 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, continuous job.
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.
Do not use any other driver bit or socket bit. (Fig. 5)
For European and North & South American coun-
tries, Australia and New Zealand
Use only these type of bit. Follow the
A = 12 mm procedure (1).
B = 9 mm (Note)
Bit-piece is not necessary.
For other countries
To install these types of bits, follow the
A = 17 mm procedure (1).
B = 14 mm (Note)
Makita bits are these types.
To install these types of bits, follow the
procedure (2).
A = 12 mm
(Note)
B = 9 mm
Bit-piece is necessary for installing the
bit.
1. 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.
(Fig. 6)
2. To install the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the
arrow and insert the bit-piece and bit into the sleeve
as far as it will go. The bit-piece should be inserted
into the sleeve with its pointed end facing in. Then
release the sleeve to secure the bit. (Fig. 7)
To remove the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the
arrow and pull the bit out firmly.
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.
