Brushless Motor
Equipped with a high-performance brushless motor, this drill offers 80% more power and 60% less energy consumption compared to traditional brushed motors. This design ensures quieter operation, increased efficiency, and a longer tool lifespan.
2-Speed Modes & 21 Torque Settings
The drill features two variable speed modes: Low Speed (0-500 RPM) for precision tasks and High Speed (0-1600 RPM) for heavy-duty drilling. With 21 torque settings, you can achieve precise control for both drilling and screwdriving in various materials like wood, metal, and plastic.
Keyless Chuck & LED Light
The 10mm keyless chuck allows for quick and tool-free bit changes. An integrated LED light illuminates your work area, improving visibility in dark environments.
Ergonomic Design & Battery Compatibility
The ergonomic non-slip rubber handle ensures a comfortable grip and reduces hand fatigue during extended use. This tool is compatible with Makita 18V series batteries (e.g., BL1860B, BL1850B, BL1830B) and 14V series batteries (e.g., BL1415N, BL1430B).

6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Selecting Speed Mode
This image shows the location of the 2-speed mode selector switch.
The drill has a speed selector switch located on top of the tool:
- Position 1 (Low Speed): 0-500 RPM. Ideal for screwdriving, larger drilling diameters, or applications requiring higher torque and more control.
- Position 2 (High Speed): 0-1600 RPM. Suitable for smaller drilling diameters and applications requiring faster drilling.
Always ensure the tool is stopped before changing speed modes.
6.2 Adjusting Torque Settings
This image highlights the 21 torque setting ring on the drill.
The torque adjustment ring is located behind the chuck. Rotate the ring to select one of the 21 torque settings.
- Lower numbers (1-5) are for driving small screws or working with soft materials.
- Higher numbers (15-21) are for driving larger screws or working with harder materials.
- The drill symbol setting is for drilling applications, providing maximum torque without clutch engagement.
6.3 Forward/Reverse Rotation
This image demonstrates how to use the forward/reverse switch for tightening and loosening screws.
The forward/reverse switch is located above the trigger.
- Push the switch to the left for forward rotation (clockwise) to tighten screws or drill.
- Push the switch to the right for reverse rotation (counter-clockwise) to loosen screws or remove bits.
- Center position locks the trigger, preventing accidental startup.
Always ensure the tool is stopped before changing the direction of rotation.
6.4 Operating the Trigger Switch
The trigger switch controls the tool's speed.
- Pressing the trigger lightly results in low speed.
- Pressing the trigger harder increases the speed.
- Releasing the trigger stops the tool.
The integrated LED light activates when the trigger is pressed, illuminating the work area.
