(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or
rain.
A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a
breakdown.
6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50°C (122°F).
7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it is
severely damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
9. Do not use dropped or struck battery.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
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
temperature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot
battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
(Fig. 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.
Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it
may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Checking the remaining battery capacity
(Fig. 2)
When charging
When the charging begins, the first (far left) indicating
lamp begins to flicker. Then, as charging proceeds, the
other lamps light, one after the other, to indicate the
battery capacity.
When using
When the tool is switched on, the lamps will light to
indicate the remaining battery capacity. When the tool is

switched off, the light goes out after approx. 5 seconds.
When the orange lamp lights up or flickers, the tool stops
because of little remaining battery capacity. (Auto-stop
mechanism: The tool works only for a second but stops
immediately.) Charge the battery cartridge at this time or
use a charged battery cartridge at this time.
When the tool is used with the battery that has not been
used for a long time and is switched on, no lamps may not
light up at all. The tool stops because of little remaining
battery capacity at this time. (The tool may work only for a
second but stops immediately.) Use Makita refreshing
adapter to refresh the battery.

Reversing switch action (Fig. 5)
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A

Auto-stop mechanism (Fig. 6)
The tool stops automatically after the battery capacity
reaches under 20% to prevent the lack of fastening
torque. (The tool works only for a second but stops
immediately.) Charge the battery or use a new fully
charged one.
CAUTION:
always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when
released.
