When drilling 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 sur-
faces to prevent electric shock if you drill into a
"live" wire.
6.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
7.
Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece imme-
diately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Charging (Fig. 2)
1.
Plug the battery charger into your power source.
2.
Insert the battery cartridge so that the plus and minus terminals on the battery cartridge are on the same sides as
their respective markings on the battery charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that it rests on the
charger port floor.
3.
When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will flash in red color and charging will begin.
4.
When charging is completed, the charging light goes out.
5.
If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger after the charging cycle is complete, the charger will switch into its
"trickle charge (maintenance charge)" mode.
6.
After charging, remove the battery cartridge from the charger and unplug the charger from the power source.
Refer to the table below for the charging time.
Battery type
1220
CAUTION:
• The battery charger is for charging Makita battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other manufac-
turer's batteries.
• When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used for a long period of time, it
may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the bat-
tery cartridge fully after discharging it completely and recharging a couple of times.
• When you charge a battery cartridge from a just-operated tool or a battery cartridge which has been left in a location
exposed to direct sunlight or heat for a long time, let it cool off. Then re-insert it and try to charge it once more.
• When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used for a long period, some-
times the charging light will go out soon. If this occurs, remove the battery cartridge and re-insert it. If the charging
light goes out within one minute even after repeating this procedure a couple of times, the battery cartridge is dead.
Replace it with a new one.
Installing or removing driver bit or drill bit (Fig. 3)

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before installing or removing
the bit.

open the chuck jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as it
will go. Hold the ring firmly and turn the sleeve clockwise
to tighten the chuck. To remove the bit, hold the ring and
turn the sleeve counterclockwise.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of
the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the
tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the car-
tridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with a little click. If not, it may accidentally fall out
of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around
you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
