Use and Care Manual

8 ENGLISH
NOTE: When the tool is overheated, the tool stops
automatically and the lamp starts ashing. In this
case, release the switch trigger. The lamp turns o󰀨 in
one minute.
NOTE: Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt o󰀨 the lens of
the lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or
it may lower the illumination.
Selecting the action mode
NOTICE: Do not rotate the action mode chang-
ing knob when the tool is running. The tool will be
damaged.
NOTICE: To avoid rapid wear on the mode
change mechanism, be sure that the action mode
changing knob is always positively located in one
of the three action mode positions.
Rotation with hammering
For drilling in concrete, masonry, etc., rotate the action
mode changing knob to the symbol. Use a car-
bide-tipped drill bit.

Torque limiter
NOTICE: As soon as the torque limiter actuates,
switch o󰀨 the tool immediately. This will help pre-
vent premature wear of the tool.
NOTICE: Drill bits such as hole saw, which tend
to pinch or catch easily in the hole, are not appro-
priate for this tool. This is because they will cause
the torque limiter to actuate too frequently.
The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque
level is reached. The motor will disengage from the
output shaft. When this happens, the drill bit will stop
turning.
Electronic function
The tool is equipped with the electronic functions for
easy operation.

The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque

output shaft. When this happens, the drill bit will stop
turning.
Constant speed control
The speed control function provides the constant rota-
tion speed regardless of load conditions.
Soft start
The soft-start function minimizes start-up shock, and
makes the machine start smoothly.
Active Feedback sensing Technology
If the tool body suddenly rotates at the specied accel-
eration due to the drill bit locking, etc., the motor is
forcibly stopped to reduce the burden on the wrist.
NOTE: The active feedback sensing technology func-
tion does not work if the acceleration does not reach
the specied one.
NOTE: The active feedback sensing technology
function also actuates just when the bit simply swung
at the specied acceleration in any operation.
In this case, release the switch trigger, and then pull
the switch trigger to restart the tool.
Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric brake. If the tool
consistently fails to quickly stop after the switch trigger
is released, have the tool serviced at a Makita service
center.
