Product Overview

The Makita 650775-7 switch is a critical component responsible for controlling the power supply and operational modes of your HW1300 rotary and percussion drill. It typically includes mechanisms for on/off control, variable speed, and potentially mode selection (e.g., rotary only, hammer drill). This switch ensures precise control over the tool's functions.

Setup and Installation

Installing the 650775-7 switch requires careful disassembly and reassembly of the Makita HW1300 drill. If you are not confident in your ability to perform this task, seek assistance from a qualified service technician.

1. Prepare the Work Area: Ensure a clean, well-lit work area. Gather necessary tools, including screwdrivers, pliers, and possibly a multimeter for testing.
2. Disconnect Power: Crucially, unplug the drill from the power outlet.
3. Disassemble the Drill Casing: Carefully remove the screws securing the drill's casing. Note the location and type of each screw. Gently separate the two halves of the casing.
4. Locate and Remove Old Switch: Identify the existing switch. Observe how it is connected to the motor wires and power cord. Take photos if necessary for reference during reassembly. Disconnect the wires from the old switch, noting their positions. Carefully remove the old switch from its housing.
5. Install New Switch: Place the new Makita 650775-7 switch into the housing. Connect the wires to the new switch, ensuring they are securely attached to the correct terminals. Refer to your photos or the drill's wiring diagram if unsure.
6. Test Connections (Optional but Recommended): Before closing the casing, you may perform a continuity test with a multimeter to ensure proper electrical connections.
7. Reassemble the Drill Casing: Carefully align the two halves of the drill casing, ensuring no wires are pinched. Secure the casing with the screws, tightening them firmly but without over-tightening.
8. Final Check: Before plugging in, ensure all parts are secure and the casing is properly closed.

Operating Instructions

Once the new switch is correctly installed, the operation of your Makita HW1300 drill should return to normal. The switch controls the following primary functions:

• On/Off Function: Pressing the trigger activates the drill, and releasing it stops the drill.
• Variable Speed Control: The trigger typically allows for variable speed control; pressing it further increases the drill's speed.
• Lock-On Button: If your drill model features a lock-on button, it allows continuous operation without holding the trigger. Engage it by pressing the trigger fully and then pressing the lock-on button. Release by pressing the trigger again.
• Forward/Reverse Selector: A separate lever or button near the trigger controls the direction of rotation. Ensure it is set to the desired direction before starting the drill.
• Mode Selector (if applicable): For percussion drills, there is often a selector for drilling only, or hammer drilling. Ensure this is set correctly for your task.

Always refer to your original Makita HW1300 drill manual for specific operational details and safety guidelines related to the drill itself.

Maintenance

The Makita 650775-7 switch is a sealed unit and generally requires no internal maintenance. However, proper care of your drill will extend the life of all its components, including the switch:

• Keep Clean: Regularly clean the exterior of your drill, especially around the switch area, to prevent dust and debris from entering. Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents.
• Avoid Moisture: Protect the drill and its switch from moisture and rain. Water ingress can damage electrical components.
• Proper Storage: Store the drill in a dry, secure place away from extreme temperatures.
• Inspect Power Cord: Periodically inspect the power cord for any damage. A damaged cord can affect the switch's performance and pose a safety risk.
