► Fig.4: 1. Lamp
NOTE: Depending on the conditions of use and the
ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly

Tool / battery protection system
Pull the switch trigger to light up the lamp. The lamp
keeps on lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled.
The lamp goes out approximately 10 seconds after
releasing the switch trigger.
CAUTION: If the lamp goes off after blinking
for a few seconds, the active feedback sensing
technology is not working properly. Ask your
local Makita Service Center for repair.
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys-
tem. This system automatically cuts off power to the
motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will auto-
matically stop during operation if the tool or battery is
placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
NOTE: Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of
the lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or
it may lower the illumination.
NOTE: The front lamp cannot be used while the dust
collection system (optional accessory) is installed in
the tool.
When the battery is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool automat-
ically stops without any indication. In this situation, turn
the tool off and stop the application that caused the tool
to become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.
Reversing switch action
Overheat protection
► Fig.5: 1. Reversing switch lever
When the tool or battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically. In this case, let the tool and battery cool
before turning the tool on again.
CAUTION: Always check the direction of
rotation before operation.
NOTE: When the tool is overheated, the lamp blinks.
Overdischarge protection
CAUTION: Use the reversing switch only after
the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the
direction of rotation before the tool stops may dam-
age the tool.
When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops
automatically. In this case, remove the battery from the
tool and charge the battery.
CAUTION: When not operating the tool,
always set the reversing switch lever to the neu-
tral position.
