Additional Safety Rules - Makita 6822 Instruction Manual

20. Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly and per-
form its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center unless
otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction
manual. Have defective switches replaced by
and authorized service center. Do not use tool if
switch does not turn it on and off.
21. Warning
The use of any other accessory or attachment
other than recommended in this operating
instruction or the catalog may present a risk of
personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired by an expert
This electric appliance is in accordance with the
relevant safety rules. Repairing of electric appli-
ances may be carried out only by experts other-
wise it may cause considerable danger for the
user.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool
in high locations.
2. Hold the tool firmly.
3. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
4. When driving into walls, floors or wherever
"live" electrical wires may be encountered,
DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE
TOOL!
Hold the tool only by the insulated grasping
surfaces to prevent electric shock if you drive
into a "live" wire.
5. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immedi-
ately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Depth adjustment
The depth can be adjusted by turning the locking
sleeve. Turn it in "A" direction for less depth and in "B"
direction for more depth. One full turn of the locking
sleeve equals 1.5 mm change in depth. (Fig. 1)
Adjust the locking sleeve so that the distance
between the tip of the locator and the screw head is
approximately 1 mm as shown in Fig. 2 or 3. Drive a
trial screw into your material or a piece of duplicate
material. If the depth is still not suitable for the screw,
continue adjusting until you obtain the proper depth
setting. (Fig. 2 & 3)
Removing or installing bit (Fig. 4 & 5)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before removing or installing the bit.
To remove the bit, first pull the locator out of the lock-
ing sleeve. Then grasp the bit with a pair of pliers and
pull the bit out of the magnetic bit holder. Sometimes,
it helps to wiggle the bit with the pliers as you pull.
To install the bit, push it firmly into the magnetic bit
holder. Then install the locator by pushing it firmly
back onto the locking sleeve.
Switch action (Fig. 6)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Tool speed is
increased by increasing pressure on the trigger.
Release the trigger to stop. For continuous operation,
pull the trigger and then push in the lock button. To
stop the tool from the locked position, pull the trigger
fully, then release it. A speed control screw is pro-
vided so that maximum tool speed can be limited
(variable). Turn the speed control screw clockwise for
higher speed, and counterclockwise for lower speed.
NOTE:
Even with the switch on and motor running, the bit
will not rotate until you fit the point of the bit in the
screw head and apply forward pressure to engage
the clutch.
Reversing switch action (Fig. 7)
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before opra-
tion.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes
to a complete stop. Charging the direction of rota-
tion before the tool stops may damage the tool.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direc-
tion of rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to the
"FWD" position for clockwise rotation or the "REV"
position for counterclockwise rotation.
Operation
Fit the screw on the point of the bit and place the
point of the screw on the surface of the workpiece to
be fastened. Apply presssure to the tool and start it.
Withdraw the tool as soon as the clutch cuts in. Then
release the trigger.
CAUTION:
• When fitting the screw onto the point of the bit, be
careful not to push in on the screw. If the screw is
pushed in, the clutch will engage and the screw will
rotate suddenly. This could damage a workpeice or
cause an injury.
• Make sure that the bit is inserted straight in the
screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be dam-
aged.
