8Changing the torque setting(screwdriver mode " ")The fastening torque can be adjusted by pressing thebutton in screwdriver mode.The numbers on the LED display shows torque setting.The fastening torque is minimum at the number 1 andmaximum at the number 9. The indication "P" is a specialmode for fastening self drilling screws.Every time the button is pressed, the torque settingchanges from 1 to 9 and P, and then returns to 1.The torque setting changes fast by keeping pressing thebutton.P mode is suitable for fastening self drilling screws intosteel plates in the following conditions.• With speed change lever at "2" side, fastening max.4 mm screw into total max. 3.2 mm steel plates.• With speed change lever at "1" side, fastening max.5 mm screw.Before an actual operation, drive a trial screw into yourmaterial or a piece of duplicate material to determinewhich torque level is required for a particular application.First, try to fasten the screw at "1". Then increase thenumber to continue fastening. Hold the tool firmly duringoperation.CAUTION:Don't fasten the machine screw on P mode. It may twistyour wrist suddenly and result in personal injury.NOTE:• Make sure to check the number on LED displaybefore operation. If the number is not indicated,contact your nearest Makita service center.• When the remaining battery capacity gets low in thescrewdriver mode, the light flashes a few timeswhen fastening the screw completely. In this case,recharge the battery. If you keep operating, youmay not obtain the desired torque.• During pulling the switch trigger, the torque settingcannot be changed.• For approximately one minute after releasing theswitch trigger, the torque setting can be changed. ifyou want to change the torque setting after that,pull the switch trigger again.• The number of torque setting does not meanspecific torque rate.Empty signal for remainingbattery capacityFig.9The remaining battery capacity will be signaled on theLED display when pulling the switch trigger.The remaining battery capacity is shown as the followingtable.LED indicator status Remaining battery capacityAbout 50% or moreAbout 20% - 50%About less than 20%012273NOTE:• When the LED display goes off, the tool is turned offto save the battery power. To check the remainingbattery capacity, slightly pull the switch trigger.• The LED display goes off approximately oneminute after releasing the switch trigger.• When the temperature of the tool gets high, thelight flashes once per second for one minute, andthen the LED display goes off. In this case, cooldown the tool before operation.ASSEMBLYCAUTION:• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and thebattery cartridge is removed before carrying outany work on the tool.Installing or removing driver/drill/socket bitFig.10Use only the driver/drill/socket bit shown in the figure.
