still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-  
trician to install a polarized outlet. Do not  
change the plug in any way. Double insula-  
key that is left attached to a rotating part of  
the tool may result in personal injury.  
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing  
and balance at all times. Proper footing and  
balance enables better control of the tool in  
unexpected situations.  
tion  
eliminates the need for the three wire  
grounded power cord and grounded power  
supply system.  
5. Avoid body contact with grounded sur-  
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and  
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of  
electric shock if your body is grounded.  
14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye  
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety  
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must  
be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary  
eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.  
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet  
conditions. Water entering a power tool will  
increase the risk of electric shock.  
Tool Use and Care  
15. Use clamps or other practical way to  
secure and support the workpiece to a  
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or  
against your body is unstable and may lead  
to loss of control.  
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord  
to carry the tools or pull the plug from an  
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,  
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace  
damaged cords immediately. Damaged  
cords increase the risk of electric shock.  
16. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for  
your application. The correct tool will do the  
job better and safer at the rate for which it is  
designed.  
8. When operating a power tool outside, use  
an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”  
or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor  
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.  
17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it  
on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled  
with the switch is dangerous and must be  
repaired.  
Personal Safety  
9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and  
use common sense when operating a  
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or  
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or  
medication. A moment of inattention while  
operating power tools may result in serious  
personal injury.  
18. Disconnect the plug from the power  
source before making any adjustments,  
changing accessories, or storing the tool.  
Such preventive safety measures reduce the  
risk of starting the tool accidentally.  
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children  
and other untrained persons. Tools are  
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-  
ing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep  
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from  
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long  
hair can be caught in moving parts.  
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting  
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained  
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely  
to bind and are easier to control.  
11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch  
is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with  
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools  
that have the switch on invites accidents.  
21. Check for misalignment or binding of  
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any  
other condition that may affect the tools  
operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-  
viced before using. Many accidents are  
caused by poorly maintained tools.  
12. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches  
before turning the tool on. A wrench or a

22. Use only accessories that are recom-  
mended by the manufacturer for your  
model. Accessories that may be suitable for  
one tool, may become hazardous when used  
on another tool.  
tenance performed by unqualified personnel  
could result in a risk of injury.  
24. When servicing a tool, use only identical  
replacement parts. Follow instructions in  
the Maintenance section of this manual.  
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow  
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of  
electric shock or injury.  
SERVICE  
23. Tool service must be performed only by  
qualified repair personnel. Service or main-  
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.  
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your  
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of  
power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and  
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num-  
ber, the heavier the cord.

NOTE:  
Use the proper bit for the head of the screw/bolt that you  
wish to use.  
When fastening tool screws in a steel plate, the proper  
fastening torque can be obtained in an extremely short  
time (approx. 0.1 - 0.2 seconds). Turn the tool off as  
soon as the impact sound is heard.

The pilot holes should be slightly smaller than the wood  
screws in diameter.  
The size of wood screw which can be fastened with this  
tool may differ depending upon the type of material to be  
fastened. Always perform a test operation to determine  
the size of wood screw.  
When fastening bolts or nuts, always perform a test  
operation to verify the adequate fastening time for your  
bolt or nut. Excessive fastening torque may damage the  
bolt/nut or socket bit.

WARNING  
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other  
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California  
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples  
of these chemicals are:  
lead from lead-based paints,  
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and  
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.  
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this  
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well  
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those  
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.  
MAKITA LIMITED ONE YEAR WARRANTY  
Warranty Policy  
Every Makita tool is thoroughly inspected and tested before leaving the factory. It is warranted to be free of  
defects from workmanship and materials for the period of ONE YEAR from the date of original purchase.  
Should any trouble develop during this one-year period, return the COMPLETE tool, freight prepaid, to one of  
Makita's Factory or Authorized Service Centers. If inspection shows the trouble is caused by defective  
workmanship or material, Makita will repair (or at our option, replace) without charge.  
This Warranty does not apply where:  
repairs have been made or attempted by others:  
repairs are required because of normal wear and tear:  
the tool has been abused, misused or improperly maintained:

IN NO EVENT SHALL MAKITA BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL  
DAMAGES FROM THE SALE OR USE OF THE PRODUCT. THIS DISCLAIMER APPLIES BOTH DURING  
AND AFTER THE TERM OF THIS WARRANTY.  
MAKITA DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF  
"MERCHANTABILITY" AND "FITNESS FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE," AFTER THE ONE-YEAR TERM OF  
THIS WARRANTY.  
This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary form state to state.  
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above  
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied  
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
