CAUTION:
•Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the “OFF” position when
released.

increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric brake. If the tool consis-
tently fails to quickly stop after switch trigger release, have
tool serviced at a Makita service center.
Reversing switch action
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A side
for clockwise rotation or from the B side for counterclockwise
rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position, the
switch trigger cannot be pulled.
CAUTION:
•Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
•Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation before
the tool stops may damage the tool.
•When not operating the tool, always set the reversing
switch lever to the neutral position.
Speed change
To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then slide
the speed change lever to the “2” side for high speed or “1”
side for low speed. Be sure that the speed change lever is
set to the correct position before operation. Use the right
speed for your job.
CAUTION:
•Always set the speed change lever fully to the correct
position. If you operate the tool with the speed change
lever positioned halfway between the “1” side and “2”
side, the tool may be damaged.
