SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
2. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool.
3.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
4. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses
and/or face shield. Ordinary eye or sun glasses
are NOT safety glasses. It is also highly recom-
mended that you wear a dust mask and thickly
padded gloves.
5.
Be sure the bit is secured in place before operation.
6. Under normal operation, the tool is designed to
produce vibration. The screws can come loose
easily, causing a breakdown or accident. Check
tightness of screws carefully before operation.
7. In cold weather or when the tool has not been
used for a long time, let the tool warm up for
a while by operating it under no load. This
will loosen up the lubrication. Without proper

before handing the tool to other person.
16. Before operation, make sure that there is no
buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe
or gas pipe in the working area. Otherwise, the
drill bit/chisel may touch them, resulting an electric
shock, electrical leakage or gas leak.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated use) replace
strict adherence to safety rules for the subject

Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice
less tool power.
2.
Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-
ture at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a hot
battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use
it for a long period (more than six months).

WARNING: Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the "OFF" position when released.

To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool
speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch
trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.

Reversing switch action
Fig.5: 1. Reversing switch lever
CAUTION: Always check the direction of
rotation before operation.
CAUTION: Use the reversing switch only after
the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the
direction of rotation before the tool stops may dam-
age the tool.
CAUTION: When not operating the tool,
always set the reversing switch lever to the neu-
tral position.
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 coun-
terclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral posi-
tion, the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
Selecting the action mode
NOTICE: Do not rotate the action mode changing
knob when the tool is running. The tool will be damaged.
NOTICE: To avoid rapid wear on the mode
change mechanism, be sure that the action mode
changing knob is always positively located in one
of the three action mode positions.
Rotation with hammering
For drilling in concrete, masonry, etc., rotate the action
mode changing knob to the symbol. Use a tungsten-
carbide tipped bit (optional accessory).

NOTICE: Drill bits such as hole saw, which tend
to pinch or catch easily in the hole, are not appro-

the torque limiter to actuate too frequently.
The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque
level is reached. The motor will disengage from the
output shaft. When this happens, the drill bit will stop
turning.

Position the drill bit at the desired location for the hole,
then pull the switch trigger. Do not force the tool. Light
pressure gives best results. Keep the tool in position
and prevent it from slipping away from the hole.
Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes
clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at
an idle, then remove the drill bit partially from the hole.
By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned
out and normal drilling may be resumed.
NOTE: Eccentricity in the drill bit rotation may occur

1. Always keep the tool tethered when working
"at height". Maximum lanyard length is 2 m.
The maximum permissible fall height for lan-
yard (tether strap) must not exceed 2 m.
2. Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool
type and rated for at least 4.5 kg.
3. Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on
your body or on movable components. Anchor
the tool lanyard to a rigid structure that can
withstand the forces of a dropped tool.
4. Make sure the lanyard is properly secured at
each end prior to use.
5.
Inspect the tool and lanyard before each use for damage
and proper function (including fabric and stitching). Do
not use if damaged or not functioning properly.
6. Do not wrap lanyards around or allow them to
come in contact with sharp or rough edges.
7.
Fasten the other end of the lanyard outside the
working area so that a falling tool is held securely.

10. Do not carry the tool by the attachment device
or the lanyard.
11. Only transfer the tool between your hands
while you are properly balanced.
12. Do not attach lanyards to the tool in a way that
keeps switches or trigger-lock (if supplied)
from operating properly.
13. Avoid getting tangled in the lanyard.
14.
Keep lanyard away from the drilling area of the tool.
15. Use multi-action and screw gate type carabineers.
Do not use single action spring clip carabineers.

tagged and removed from service, and should
be inspected by a Makita Factory or Authorized
