Drilling Operation - Makita FD03 Manuel D'instruction

The fastening torque can be adjusted in 17 steps by
turning the adjusting ring so that its graduations are
aligned with the pointer on the tool body. The fastening
torque is minimum when the number 1 is aligned with
the pointer, and maximum when the
aligned with the pointer.
The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set at
the number 1 to 16. The clutch is designed not to slip at
the marking.
Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your
material or a piece of duplicate material to deter-
mine which torque level is required for a particular
application.
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.
Installing or removing driver bit or
drill bit
► 1. Sleeve
Turn the sleeve counterclockwise to open the chuck
jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go. Turn
the sleeve clockwise to tighten the chuck.
To remove the bit, turn the sleeve counterclockwise.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Always insert the battery cartridge all the way
until it locks in place. If you can see the red
indicator on the upper side of the button, it is
not locked completely. Insert it fully until the red
indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may acciden-
tally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or
someone around you.

the
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 excep-
tions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.

CAUTION:
Adjust the adjusting ring to the proper torque
level for your work.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight
in the screw head, or the screw and/or bit may
be damaged.
When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes
to make driving easier and to prevent splitting of
the workpiece. See the chart.
