Makita DDF083 Instruction Manual - Maintenance

10 ENGLISH

CAUTION:

Pressing excessively on the tool 

will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive 

pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your drill 

bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the

service life of the tool.

CAUTION:

Hold the tool firmly and exert care 

when the drill bit begins to break through the 

workpiece. There is a tremendous force exerted on

the tool/drill bit at the time of hole break through.

CAUTION:

A stuck drill bit can be removed 

simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse 

rotation in order to back out. However, the tool 

may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly.

CAUTION:

Always secure workpieces in a 

vise or similar hold-down device.

CAUTION:

If the tool is operated continuously 

until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow 

the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding 

with a fresh battery.

Using the tool as a hand screwdriver

NOTE: This use is convenient for checking the

screwdriving.

NOTE: Do not use the tool for work requiring exces-

sive force, such as tightening bolt or removing rusted

screws.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is 

switched off and the battery cartridge is removed 

before attempting to perform inspection or
