ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work
on the tool.
Installing or removing driver bit or socket bit
(Fig. 6)
Use only bits that has inserting portion shown in the fig-
ure.
For tool with shallow bit hole
Use only these type of bit. Follow the
A=12 mm
procedure (1).
B=9 mm
(Note) Bit-piece is not necessary.
006348
For tool with deep bit hole
A=17 mm To install these types of bits, follow the
B=14 mm procedure (1).
To install these types of bits, follow the
A=12 mm procedure (2).
B=9 mm (Note) Bit-piece is necessary for install-
ing the bit.
011405
Procedure (1)
To install the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the
arrow and insert the bit into the sleeve as far as it will go.
Then release the sleeve to secure the bit. (Fig. 7)
Procedure (2)
In addition to the procedure (1) above, insert the bit-
piece into the sleeve with its pointed end facing in.
To remove the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the
arrow and pull the bit out. (Fig. 8)
NOTE:
• If the bit is not inserted deep enough into the sleeve,
the sleeve will not return to its original position and the
bit will not be secured. In this case, try re-inserting the
bit according to the instructions above.
• After inserting the bit, make sure that it is firmly
secured. If it comes out, do not use it.
Hook (Fig. 9)
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool.
To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool hous-
ing on either side and then secure it with a screw. To
remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Do not cover vents, or it may cause overheating and
damage to the tool. (Fig. 10 & 11)
The proper fastening torque may differ depending upon
the kind or size of the screw/bolt, the material of the
workpiece to be fastened, etc. The relation between fas-
tening torque and fastening time is shown in the figures.
(Fig. 12 & 13)
Hold the tool firmly and place the point of the driver bit in
the screw head. Apply forward pressure to the tool to the
extent that the bit will not slip off the screw and turn the
tool on to start operation.

NOTE:
• Use the proper bit for the head of the screw/bolt that
you wish to use.
• When fastening M8 or smaller screw, choose a proper
impact force and carefully adjust pressure on the
switch trigger so that the screw is not damaged.
• Hold the tool pointed straight at the screw.
• If the impact force is too strong you tighten the screw
for a time longer than shown in the figures, the screw or
the point of the driver bit may be overstressed,
stripped, damaged, etc. Before starting your job,
always perform a test operation to determine the
proper fastening time for your screw.
The fastening torque is affected by a wide variety of fac-
tors including the following. After fastening, always check
the torque with a torque wrench.
1. When the battery cartridge is discharged almost
completely, voltage will drop and the fastening
torque will be reduced.
2. Driver bit or socket bit
Failure to use the correct size driver bit or socket bit
will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
3. Bolt
• Even though the torque coefficient and the class of
bolt are the same, the proper fastening torque will
differ according to the diameter of bolt.
• Even though the diameters of bolts are the same,
the proper fastening torque will differ according to
the torque coefficient, the class of bolt and the bolt
length.
4. The manner of holding the tool or the material of
driving position to be fastened will affect the torque.
5. Operating the tool at low speed will cause a reduc-
tion in the fastening torque.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance except for the following trou-
bleshooting related to the light.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
