Advantages

The keyless chuck allows fast, tool-free bit changes for efficient work cycles. At 1.5 kg the tool is lightweight for reduced operator fatigue during prolonged use. Two gears enable selection between higher speed and higher torque depending on the application. The compact pistol grip design improves handling and control in confined spaces. Compatibility with Makita 18V Lithium‑Ion batteries (battery not included) offers access to a broad battery platform for uninterrupted jobsite use.

How to use

Install a compatible 18V Makita Lithium‑Ion battery into the drill following the battery manufacturer’s instructions. Select a suitable drill bit or screwdriver bit and insert it into the keyless chuck, then tighten by hand until secure. Choose the appropriate gear for the task (lower gear for higher torque, higher gear for increased speed). Set the torque or clutch position for screwdriving tasks if required. When drilling, apply steady pressure and maintain the drill perpendicular to the work surface for accurate holes. After use, remove the battery and store the tool and bits in a dry place.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection and hearing protection. Match drill bits and screws to the material being worked and ensure the battery is charged and correctly mounted. For best results in metal, use sharp, correctly rated drill bits and moderate speed; for wood, select the appropriate bit type and speed to reduce tear-out. Do not exceed the specified maximum drilling diameters and follow Makita safety guidance for cordless tools.
