Switch action (Fig. 4)

CAUTION:

• Before installing the battery cartridge into the tool,

always check to see that the slide switch actuates

properly and returns to the “OFF” position when the

rear of the slide switch is depressed.

To start the tool, slide the slide switch toward the “I (ON)”

position. For continuous operation, press the front of the

slide switch to lock it.

To stop the tool, press the rear of the slide switch, then

slide it toward the “O (OFF)” position.

Accidental re-start preventive function

Even if the battery cartridge is installed on the tool with

the slide switch in the “I (ON)” position, the tool does not

start.

To start the tool, first slide the slide switch toward the

“O (OFF)” position and then slide it toward the “I (ON)”

position.

ASSEMBLY

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 bit (Fig. 5)

CAUTION:

• Do not tighten the collet nut without installing a bit, or

the collet cone may break.

Press the shaft lock to prevent shaft rotation when

installing or removing the bit.

To install the bit, place it in the collet cone as far as it

goes and then tighten the collet nut securely with the

shoe as a wrench.

To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in

reverse.

Changing the collet cone (country specific)

(Fig. 6)

CAUTION:

• Use the correct size collet cone for the bit which you

intended to use.

• Do not tighten the collet nut without installing a bit, or

the collet cone may break.

To change the collet cone, loosen the collet nut and

remove. Remove the installed collet cone and replace

with desired collet cone. Reinstall collet nut.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Avoid forcing the bit to bend or twist. It may snap.

• Before turning the tool on, make sure the bit and collet

nut are securely tightened.

Hold the tool securely with the bit pointing in a safe

direction not contacting any surface. Turn the tool on and

wait until the tool reaches full speed. (Fig. 7)

When using the drywall guide bit into a drywall, carefully

insert the bit straight until the shoe base contacts the

material fully.

Move the tool slowly with a constant pressure in a

clockwise direction to make the cut. (Fig. 8)

When cutting straight line, clamp a straight board firmly

to the material and use it as a guide. Move the tool in the

direction of the arrow with the shoe base flush with the

side of the guide board.

When the cut is complete, turn the tool off and wait for

the bit to stop rotating and then carefully remove it from

the material.

NOTE:

• When using this tool, the rotating action causes the tool

to pull. The less pressure applied to the tool causes

less pull and provides a more accurate cut. Excessive

pressure or fast cutting can cause the bit to dull or

break premature.

• When cutting drywall around outlet boxes, cut in a

counterclockwise direction for ease of cut.

• The standard bit included with this tool is for cutting

drywall only. When cutting materials other than drywall,

do not use the standard drywall guide bit.

Using multipurpose bit (optional accessory)

(Fig. 9 & 10)

When using the multipurpose bit into the material, hold

the tool at approximately a 45 degree angle with the

edge of the shoe base contacting the material.

Bring the tool carefully to a straight position so the shoe

base contacts the material fully.

Circular guide (optional accessory)

Circular cutting diameters: 10 cm – 34 cm

Installing circular guide (Fig. 11, 12 & 13)

Release the thumb screw which secures the shoe.

Align the projections in the circular guide with the

grooves in the shoe, and secure the shoe and circular

guide with the thumb screw.

To adjust the cutting depth, loose the thumb screw and

then slide the shoe with the circular guide. After the

proper adjustment, tighten the thumb screw securely.

Using circular guide (Fig. 14 & 15)

Loosen the knob, and adjust its position in accordance

with the size of the circle to be cut. (The hole dimensions

to be cut are indicated on the side of the circular guide as

a general guideline.) After completion of the adjustment,

tighten the knob securely.

Install the end of the knob into the center of the circle to

be cut, and proceed to cut in a clockwise direction.

Vacuum cover (optional accessory) (Fig. 16, 17 &

18)

To perform cleaner operations, use the vacuum cover

and connect the tool to Makita vacuum cleaner or dust

collector.

Loosen the thumb screw and remove the shoe. Attach

the vacuum cover, and fasten it securely with the thumb

screw.

The circular guide (optional accessory) can be installed

on the vacuum cover.

Connect the hose of a vacuum cleaner/dust collector to

the vacuum cover. When connecting to Makita vacuum

cleaner, use an optional hose 28 mm in inner diameter.

When connecting to Makita dust collector, connect the

hose for the dust collector directly to the dust nozzle.
