4.2 Battery Charging

Use only the Makita-specified charger for your 12V max CXT battery packs. Refer to the charger's instruction manual for detailed charging procedures. Ensure the battery is fully charged before first use.

4.3 Bit Installation

• To Open Chuck: Rotate the chuck sleeve counter-clockwise until the jaws are wide enough to insert the bit.
• To Insert Bit: Insert the drill bit or driver bit into the chuck as far as it will go.
• To Tighten Chuck: Rotate the chuck sleeve clockwise to securely tighten the jaws around the bit. Ensure the bit is centered and firmly held.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On/Off and Speed Control

• To Start: Pull the trigger switch. The tool speed increases with increased pressure on the trigger.
• To Stop: Release the trigger switch. The electric brake will stop the rotation quickly.

5.2 Reversing Switch

The reversing switch, located above the trigger, changes the direction of rotation. Push it from the left for clockwise rotation (forward) and from the right for counter-clockwise rotation (reverse). Always ensure the tool has come to a complete stop before changing the rotation direction.

5.3 Speed Selection

The mechanical 2-speed gearing allows selection between high and low speeds:

• Position '1' (Low Speed): For heavy-duty applications requiring high torque, such as driving large screws or drilling large holes.
• Position '2' (High Speed): For speedy drilling in light-duty applications.

To change speed, slide the speed change lever. Ensure the tool is stopped before changing speed to prevent gear damage.

5.4 Clutch Settings and Drilling Modes

The clutch ring allows adjustment of the fastening torque and selection of drilling modes:

• Clutch Settings (1-20): Rotate the clutch ring to align the desired number with the arrow on the tool body. Lower numbers provide less torque, suitable for smaller screws or softer materials. Higher numbers provide more torque.
• Drill Mode (drill bit icon): For general drilling in wood or metal. The clutch does not engage in this mode, providing maximum torque.
• Hammer Drill Mode (hammer icon): For drilling in masonry materials. This mode combines rotation with a hammering action.

Always select the appropriate clutch setting or mode for your application to prevent damage to the workpiece or the tool.

5.5 LED Work Light

The built-in LED light illuminates the work area when the trigger is pulled. It features pre-glow and afterglow functions, staying on briefly after the trigger is released to further illuminate the area.

5.6 Belt Clip

The durable, reversible belt clip can be attached to either side of the tool for convenient temporary hanging when not in use.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your tool.

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the tool's ventilation openings to prevent dust accumulation. Use a soft, damp cloth. Do not use strong detergents or solvents.
• Battery Care: Store battery packs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not store discharged batteries for extended periods.
