Hammer drilling (with a tungsten-carbide tipped bit)

When drilling in concrete, granite, tile, etc. with a tung-

sten-carbide tipped bit, first use “rotation only” action to

start a hole, then use “rotation with hammering” action to

continue drilling.

Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes

clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at

an idle, then remove from the hole. By repeating this

several times, the hole will be cleaned out.

Drilling (with a conventional drill bit)

When drilling in wood, metal or plastic materials, use

“rotation only” action.

1. Drilling in wood

When drilling in wood, 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.

2. Drilling in metal

To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole,

make an indentation with a centerpunch and ham-

mer 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

exceptions are iron and brass which should be

drilled dry.

CAUTION:

• Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the

drilling. If fact, this excessive pressure will only serve

to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool perfor-

mance and shorten the service life of the tool.

• There is tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit at the

time of hole breakthrogh. Hold the tool firmly and exert

care when the bit begins to break through the work-

piece.

• Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar

hold-down device.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or

maintenance.

Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 22)

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. (Fig. 23)

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,

any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-

formed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers

always using Makita replacement parts.
