Tool Use and Care
12.Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to
loss of control.
13.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it is designed.
14. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
15. Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off
position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the tool. Such preventive safety measuresreducethe risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
16. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
17. When battery pack isnot in use, keep it away from other metal objects like:
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
18. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintainedtools with sharpcutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
19.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation.
If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
20. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitablefor one tool may create a risk of injury
when used on another tool.
Service
21. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performedby unqualifiedpersonnelmay result in
a risk of injury.
22. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions inthe Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock
or injury.

battery charger. Insertthe cartridgefully into the port so that it restson the charger port
floor.
When the batterycartridge is inserted,the charging light color will changefrom greento
redand charging will begin.The charging lightwill remain lit steadily duringcharging.
When the charging light color changes from redto green, the charging cycle is complete
and the charger will switch into its “trickle charge (maintenancecharge)”mode.
After charging, unplugthe charger from the powersource.
CAUTION:
The high capacity batterycharger Model DC1411 isfor charging Makitabatterycartridge.
Never use it for other purposes or for other manufacturer’sbatteries.
Whenyou charge a new batterycartridgeor a batterycartridgewhich has notbeen used
for
a long period of time, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and
does not indicate
a problem.You can recharge the batterycartridge fully after discharging
itcompletely and recharging
a coupleof times.

Ifyou charge a battery cartridgefrom a just-operatedtool or a battery cartridgewhich has
beenleft ina location exposed to direct sunlight or heatfor
a longtime, the charginglight
mayflash in red color. If this occurs,wait for awhile. Chargingwill begin after the battery
cartridge cools. The battery cartridge
will cool faster if you remove the battery cartridge
from the highcapacitybatterycharger.
If the charginglight flashesalternately in green and redcolor, a problem exists and charg-
ing is not possible. The terminals on the charger or battery cartridge are clogged with
dust or the batterycartridge
is worn out or damaged.
Trickle charge (Maintenancecharge)
If you leavethe battery cartridge in the chargerto prevent spontaneous discharging after
full charge, the charger will switch into its "trickle charge (maintenancecharge)" mode and
keep the batterycartridge fresh and fully charged.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1, Chargethe batterycartridge before completely discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool
power.
2. Never rechargea fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Chargethe batterycartridgewith roomtemperature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F)
Let
a hot battery cartridgecool down before charging it.

OPERATION
Drilling operation
*Drilling inwood
When drilling in wood, best results are obtainedwith wood drills equippedwith
a guide
screw.The guide screw makes drillingeasier by pullingthe bit intothe workpiece.
To preventthe bit from slippingwhen starting a hole, make an indentationwith a center-
punchand hammerat the pointto be drilled. Place the point of the bit inthe indentation
and start drilling.
Use
a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which
shouldbedrilleddry.
*Drilling in metal
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, decreasethe tool performanceand
shortenthe servicelife of the tool.
*There is
a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole breakthrough.
Holdthe tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break through the workpiece.
*A stuck bit can be removedsimply by setting the reversingswitch to reverse rotationin
order to back out. However,the tool may back out abruptlyif you do not hold
it firmly.
