Makita BHP453, BHP343 Maintenance, Optional Accessories, Drilling in wood, Drilling in metal

•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.

Drilling in wood

When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the workpiece.

Drilling in metal

To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an indentation with a center-punch and hammer at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the indentation and start drilling.

Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

•Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

•Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
