Operation - Makita BTW200 Instruction Manual

Reversing switch action
A
1
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 opera-
tion.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes
to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rota-
tion before the tool stops may damage the tool.
• When not operating the tool, always set the revers-
ing switch lever to the neutral position.
Speed change
A
B
To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then
slide the speed change lever to the "A" side (2) for high
speed or "B" side (1) for low speed. Be sure that the
speed change lever is set to the correct position before
operation. Use the right speed for your job.
CAUTION:
• Always set the speed change lever fully to the cor-
rect position. If you operate the tool with the speed
change lever positioned halfway between the "A"
side (2) and "B" side (1), the tool may be damaged.
• Do not use the speed change lever while the tool is
running. The tool may be damaged.

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Selecting correct socket
Always use the correct size socket for bolts and nuts. An
incorrect size socket will result in inaccurate and incon-
sistent fastening torque and/or damage to the bolt or nut.
Installing or removing socket

2
To install the socket, align the hole in the side of the
socket with the detent pin on the anvil.
Push the socket onto the anvil until it snaps into place.
Tap it lightly if required.
To remove the socket, depress the detent pin through the
hole in the socket and pull the socket off the anvil.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
• Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until
it locks in place. 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.
The proper fastening torque may differ depending upon
the kind or size of the bolt, the material of the workpiece
to be fastened, etc. The relation between fastening
torque and fastening time is shown in the figures.
