CAUTION:
• Never use “rotation with hammering” when the quick
change drill chuck is installed on the tool. The quick
change drill chuck may be damaged.
Also, the drill chuck will come off when reversing the
tool.
• 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.
Diamond core drilling
When performing diamond core drilling operations,
always set the change lever to the m position to use “rota-
tion only” action.
CAUTION:
• If performing diamond core drilling operations using
“rotation with hammering” action, the diamond core bit
may be damaged.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other
maintenance or adjustment should be performed by
Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita
replacement parts.
