Use the optional drill chuck assembly. When installing it,
refer to "Installing or removing the bit" described on the
previous page.
Set the change lever so that the pointer points to the
symbol.
You can drill up to 13 mm (1/2") diameter in metal and up
to 27 mm (1-1/16") diameter in wood.
CAUTION:
• Never use "rotation with hammering" when the drill
chuck assembly is installed on the tool. The drill
chuck assembly may be damaged.
Also, the drill chuck will come off when reversing
the tool.
• 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, decrease the
tool performance and shorten the service life of the
tool.
• There is a tremendous twisting force exerted on the
tool/bit at the time of hole breakthrough. 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. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you
do not hold it firmly.
• Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar
hold-down device.

Replacing carbon brushes

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps.

Makita service center for repair.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
