How to use

To install the side handle, align the threaded collar with the auxiliary-handle thread on the tool and rotate until securely seated. Adjust the handle angle by loosening the collar, positioning the handle at the desired orientation, and tightening until firm. During operation, grip the side handle together with the main tool body to distribute force evenly and maintain control, especially when starting holes or working at high speed. Inspect the handle and mounting collar periodically for wear and tighten as needed before each use.

Recommendations

Use with compatible Makita power tools only. Ensure the handle is properly tightened and positioned before operation. Replace the handle if cracks, excessive wear, or damaged threads are observed to maintain safe tool control.
