4. Setup and Installation

Replacing the motor in a cordless drill/driver requires careful disassembly and reassembly. Follow these general steps. Specific disassembly instructions may vary slightly by tool model.

1. Prepare the Workspace: Ensure a clean, well-lit, and organized workspace. Lay out a mat or cloth to prevent losing small parts.
2. Remove Battery: Crucially, remove the battery pack from the drill/driver before beginning any work.
3. Disassemble the Tool Casing: Locate and remove all screws holding the two halves of the drill/driver casing together. Carefully separate the casing halves. Note the position of all internal components.
4. Disconnect Old Motor: Identify the old motor. Carefully disconnect the electrical wires leading to the motor. Note their polarity if applicable (though typically, DC motors can be wired either way for direction, but consistency is best).
5. Remove Old Motor: The motor is usually seated within the gearbox assembly. Carefully detach it from the gearbox, noting how it engages with the gears.
6. Install New Motor: Insert the new Makita 629167-1 motor into the gearbox assembly, ensuring the pinion gear properly meshes with the internal gears.
7. Connect Wires: Reconnect the electrical wires to the new motor. Ensure secure connections.
8. Reassemble Casing: Carefully place the internal components back into one half of the casing. Ensure all wires are tucked away and not pinched. Align the two casing halves and secure them with the screws removed earlier. Do not overtighten.
9. Initial Test: Insert a charged battery pack. Briefly test the drill/driver's function (e.g., trigger response, forward/reverse, speed settings) before full use.

Note: Pay close attention to the orientation of components, especially springs and small plastic parts, during disassembly. Taking photos during the process can be helpful for reassembly.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the new motor is successfully installed, the operation of your Makita drill/driver remains unchanged. Refer to your original Makita drill/driver user manual for detailed operating instructions, including:

• Battery installation and charging.
• Trigger operation and variable speed control.
• Forward/reverse switch functionality.
• Torque settings and clutch operation (if applicable).
• Drilling and driving techniques.

Ensure the tool operates smoothly and without unusual noises or vibrations after motor replacement.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance extends the life of your power tool and its components, including the motor.

• Keep Clean: Regularly clean the exterior of your drill/driver to prevent dust and debris from entering the internal components. Use a soft, dry cloth.
• Ventilation Openings: Ensure the ventilation openings on the tool casing are clear of obstructions to allow for proper motor cooling.
• Avoid Overload: Do not continuously operate the tool under heavy load, as this can cause the motor to overheat and reduce its lifespan.
• Storage: Store the tool in a dry, clean environment away from extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for charging and storage to ensure optimal performance and prevent strain on the motor.
