CAUTION:
• Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed
up the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure
will only serve to damage the tip of your bit,
decrease the tool performance and shorten the
service life of the tool.
• There is a tremendous twisting force exerted
on the tool/bit at the time of hole breakthrough.
Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit
begins to break through the workpiece.
• A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting
the reversing switch to reverse rotation in order
to back out. However, the tool may back out
abruptly if you do not hold it firmly.
• Always secure small workpieces in a vise or
similar hold-down device.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Cleaning vent holes (Fig. 10)
Periodically clean the vent holes to prevent them from
being clogged with dust, dirt or the like.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs,
maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by
a Makita Authorized Service Center.
