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 before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any
other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by
Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using
Makita replacement parts.

DISPOSING OF TOOL

A Ni-Cd battery is built into the handle of the tool. Always
remove it before disposing of the tool.
Removing built-in battery
CAUTION:
Never remove the built-in battery from the tool except
when disposing of the tool. The battery will be damaged
or a battery short-circuit could result.
To remove the cover, push it in the direction of the arrow
while pressing down on the OPEN portion of the cover.
Withdraw the built-in battery halfway. Disconnect the two
lead wires from the battery by pulling them from the battery
terminals. Then withdraw the battery completely.
To prevent a battery short-circuit, tape the battery terminals
or put the battery into a plastics bag. (Note: Never put two or
more batteries into one plastics bag. Battery short-circuit
may result.)
CAUTION:
Never incinerate the battery even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. It can explode in a
fire or toxic materials can leak out of it.
