Screwdriving Operation; Drilling Operation - Makita DF0300 Instruction Manual

The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool. To install
the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool housing on
either side and then secure it with a screw. To remove,
loosen the screw and then take it out.

► 1 . Driver bit holder 2. Driver bit
Fit the driver bit holder into the protrusion at the tool foot
on either right or left side and secure it with a screw.
When not using the driver bit, keep it in the driver bit
holders. Driver bits 45 mm-long can be kept there.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
When the speed comes down
extremely, reduce the load or stop the tool to
avoid the tool damage.
► 1 . Vent
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the grip.
In the case of the twisting action, hold the grip firmly
with both hands.
NOTICE:
Do not cover vents, or it may cause over-
heating and damage to the tool.

Screwdriving operation

CAUTION:
proper torque level for your work.
CAUTION:
inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw
and/or driver bit may be damaged.
Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and
apply pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then
increase the speed gradually. Release the switch trigger
as soon as the clutch cuts in.
NOTE: When driving wood screw, pre-drill a pilot hole
2/3 the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier
and prevents splitting of the workpiece.

Drilling operation

First, turn the adjusting ring so that the arrow points to
the marking. Then proceed as follows.
Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained
with wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide
screw makes drilling easier by pulling the drill bit into
the workpiece.
Drilling in metal
To prevent the drill bit from slipping when starting a
hole, make an indentation with a center-punch and
hammer at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the
drill bit in the indentation and start drilling.
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The excep-
tions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
CAUTION:
will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive
1
pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your drill
bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the
service life of the tool.
CAUTION:
when the drill bit begins to break through the
workpiece. There is a tremendous force exerted on
the tool/drill bit at the time of hole break through.
CAUTION:
simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse
rotation in order to back out. However, the tool
may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly.
CAUTION:
vise or similar hold-down device.
