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 force exerted on the tool/bit at the
time of hole break through. 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.
•If the tool is operated continuously until the battery
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15
minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
MAINTENANCE CAUTION:
•Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed 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.
