Additional Safety Rules - Makita 6827 Instruction Manual

18. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
19. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
23. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
24. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories.
25. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cut-
ting tools may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
2. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
3. Hold the tool firmly.
4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
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
Removing or installing the bit (Fig. 1)
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 front cap off and then
pull the bit firmly. To install the bit, insert it into the
tool as far as it will go and then replace the front cap.
Depth adjustment (Fig. 2, 3 & 4)
When you wish to drive self drilling screws, etc.,
adjust the depth as follows. Turn the locator to adjust
the depth.
Initially, adjust the locator to create a distance of
approximately 1 mm from the tip of the front cap
(which works in conjunction with the locator) to the
base of the screw head. One full turn of the locator
equals 1 mm change in depth. After adjusting the
locator, turn the adjusting ring so that the 6" mark is
aligned with the pointer on the gear housing. Drive a
trial screw into your material or a piece of duplicate
material. If the depth is not suitable for the screw,
adjust the locator until the proper depth setting is
obtained.
Adjusting fastening torque (Fig. 5)
When you wish to drive tool screws, wood screws,
hex bolts, etc. with the predetermined torque, adjust
the fastening torque as follows. The fastening torque
may be adjusted by turning the adjusting ring. Before
turning the adjusting ring, turn the locator in the
direction of the arrow as far as it will go without forc-
ing. The torque is increased by turning the adjusting
ring in the direction of the arrow and decreased by
turning it in the opposite direction. Align the number 1
on the adjusting ring with the pointer on the gear
ENB004-1
housing. Drive a trial screw into your material or a
piece of duplicate material. If the fastening torque is
not suitable for the screw, continue adjusting until the
proper torque is obtained.
CAUTION:
The adjusting ring should be turned only within the
numbered range. It should not be forced beyond this
range.
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.
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.
