NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING: Wear ear protection. WARNING: The noise emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed. WARNING: Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined according to EN62841-2-1:
Work mode: drilling into metal Vibration emission (ah,D) : 5.1 m/s2
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure. WARNING: The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed. WARNING: Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

Drill safety warnings
Safety instructions for all operations
- Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause personal injury.
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
- Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.
- Hold the tool firmly. 5. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
- Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
- Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
- Some material contains chemicals that may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
- If the drill bit cannot be loosened even if you open the jaws, use pliers to pull it out. In such a case, pulling out the drill bit by hand may result in injury by its sharp edge.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
- Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
- Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
- Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with the product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking the function on the tool.
Switch action CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released.
Fig.1: 1. Lock button 2. Speed control screw 3. Switch trigger 4. Higher 5. Lower
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then push the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trigger fully, then release it. A speed control screw is provided so that maximum tool speed can be limited (variable). Turn the speed control screw clockwise for higher speed, and counterclockwise for lower speed.
Reversing switch action CAUTION: Always check the direction of rotation before operation. CAUTION: Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool.
Fig.2: 1. Reversing switch lever
This tool has a reversing switch to change the rotational direction. Move the reversing switch lever to the 
position for clockwise (forward) rotation or the position for counterclockwise (reverse) rotation.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing side grip (auxiliary handle)

Screw the side grip on the tool securely.
Installing or removing the drill bit CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the drill bit.
For tool with a standard keyed chuck
Fig.4: 1. Chuck key
To install the drill bit, place it in the drill chuck as far as it will go. Tighten the chuck by hand. Place the chuck key in each of the three holes and tighten clockwise. Be sure to tighten all three chuck holes evenly. To remove the drill bit, turn the drill chuck key counterclockwise in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand. After using the chuck key, be sure to return it to the original position.
For tool with keyless chuck
Fig.5: 1. Sleeve 2. Ring
Hold the ring and turn the sleeve counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws. Place the drill bit in the drill chuck as far as it will go. Hold the ring firmly and turn the sleeve clockwise to tighten the chuck. To remove the drill bit, hold the ring and turn the sleeve counterclockwise.
OPERATION
Holding tool
Fig.6
Always use the side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold the tool by side grip and switch handle during operations.
Drilling operation
Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the drill bit into the workpiece.
Drilling in metal
To prevent the drill bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an indentation with a center punch and hammer at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the drill 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. 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 breakthrough. 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: Avoid drilling in material that you suspect contains hidden nails or other things that may cause the drill bit to bend or break.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzene, thinner, alcohol, or the like. Discoloration, deformation, or cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, carbon brush inspection, and replacement, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
