[. . . ] Before using battery cartridge, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery. If operating time has become excessively shorter, stop operating immediately. It may result in a risk of overheating, possible burns and even an explosion. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out with clear water and seek medical attention right away. [. . . ] The fastening torque is minimum when the number 1 is aligned with the pointer, and maximum when the marking is aligned with the pointer. The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set at the number 1 to 16. Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your material or a piece of duplicate material to determine which torque level is required for a particular application. 1) • Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of the battery cartridge. € To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge. € To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click. If you can see the red part on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly. ASSEMBLY CAUTION: • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the tool. 2) 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. OPERATION CAUTION: • Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it locks in place. If you can see the red part on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for counterclockwise rotation. 7) CAUTION: • Adjust the adjusting ring to the proper torque level for your work. Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply pressure to the tool. CAUTION: • Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged. NOTE: • When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to make driving easier and to prevent splitting of the workpiece. Nominal diameter of wood Recommended size of pilot screw (mm) hole (mm) 3. 4 • 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. [. . . ] 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. • Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device. 5 EC Declaration of Conformity ENH101-12 We Makita Corporation as the responsible manufacturer declare that the following Makita machine(s): Designation of Machine: Cordless Driver Drill Model No. [. . . ]
