Makita DTM41 Instruction Manual page 7

If the tool does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery
cool before sliding the slide switch toward
the "I (ON)" position again.
Low battery voltage:
•
The remaining battery capacity is too low
and the tool will not operate. In this situation,
remove and recharge the battery.
Overheat protection
When the tool is overloaded and the tool temperature
reaches a certain level, the tool automatically stops. In
this situation, let the tool cool before turning on the tool
again.
Switch action
Fig.3
CAUTION:
Before installing the battery cartridge into the tool,
•
always check to see that the tool is switched off.
To start the tool, slide the slide switch toward the "I
(ON)" position.
To stop the tool, slide the slide switch toward the "O
(OFF)" position.
Adjusting the orbital stroke rate
Fig.4
The orbital stroke rate is adjustable. To change the
orbital stroke rate, turn the dial between 1 and 6. The
higher the number is, the higher the orbital stroke rate is.
Preset the dial to the number suitable for your
workpiece.
NOTE:
The dial cannot be turned directly from 1 to 6 or
•
from 6 to 1. Forcing the dial may damage the tool.
When changing the dial direction, always turn the
dial moving it through each intermediate number.
Indication lamp
Fig.5
When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the
•
indication lamp blinks.
When the remaining battery capacity gets much
•
lower, the tool stops during operation and the
indication lamp lights up about 10 seconds.
At this time, remove the battery cartridge from the tool
and charge it.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Installing or removing application tool
(optional accessory)
WARNING:
Do not install application tool upside down.
•
Installing application tool upside down may
damage the tool and cause serious personal injury.
Install attachment tool in the correct direction
•
according to your work. Application tool can be
installed at an angle of every 30 degree.
CAUTION:
Be careful when closing the lock lever. The lock
•
lever may close suddenly and pinch your finger.
Clean up dust and perform lubrication on the
•
moving part of the lock lever from time to time.
Otherwise dust may accumulate in the moving part
of the lock lever and hinder its smooth movement.
Do not start the tool while the lever opens. The
•
tool may be damaged.
1. Open the lock lever fully. And remove the holder
bolt.
Fig.6
2. Put an application tool (optional accessory) on
the tool flange so that the protrusions of the tool
flange fit in the holes in the application tool.

3. Insert the holder bolt till it stops. And then, return
the lock lever to its original position.
Fig.8
When using sanding application tool, mount the
application tool on the sanding pad so that it matches
the sanding pad direction.
The sanding pad has a hook and loop type fitting
system which allows easy and rapid fitting of a sanding
paper.
As sanding papers have holes for dust extraction,
mount a sanding paper so that the holes in a sanding
paper match those in the sanding pad.
To remove a sanding paper, raise its end and peel it off.
To remove the holder bolt, follow the installation
procedures in reverse.

When using application tools with a different type of
installation section, use a correct adapter (optional
accessory).
