GENERAL SAFETY RULES

GEA001-3

WARNING:

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in elec-

tric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The

term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed

below refers to your mains-operated

(corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and

dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while oper-

ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

Electrical safety

4. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any

adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power

tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

5. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the

risk of electric shock.

7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

8. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a

cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

Personal safety

9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do

not use a power tool while you are tired or under

the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools

may result in serious personal injury.

10. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-

tion. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used

for appropriate conditions will reduce personal inju-

ries.

11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off-position before plugging in. Carrying

power tools with your finger on the switch or plug-

ging in power tools that have the switch on invites

accidents.

12. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may

result in personal injury.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times. This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

15. If devices are provided for the connection of

dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and properly used. Use of

these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

16. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application. The correct power

tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for

which it was designed.

17. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not

turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be

repaired.

18. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/

or the battery pack from the power tool before

making any adjustments, changing accessories,

or storing power tools. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool

accidentally.

19. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-

dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with

the power tool or these instructions to operate

the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and

any other condition that may affect the power

tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool

repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc. in accordance with these instructions and in

the manner intended for the particular type of

power tool, taking into account the working con-

ditions and the work to be performed. Use of the

power tool for operations different from those

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

23. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified

repair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

24. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing

accessories.

25. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and

grease.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

GEB017-1

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with

product (gained from repeated use)

replace strict adherence to screwdriver

safety rules. If you use this power tool

unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer

serious personal injury.

1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces

when performing an operation where the cutting

tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal

parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

2. Always be sure you have a firm footing.

Be sure no one is below when using the tool in

high locations.

3. Hold the tool firmly.

4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.

5. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immedi-

ately after operation; they may be extremely hot

and could burn your skin.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:

MISUSE or failure to follow the safety

rules stated in this instruction manual

may cause serious personal injury.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before adjusting or checking function on

the tool.

Depth adjustment

The depth can be adjusted by turning the locking sleeve.

Turn it in “A” direction for less depth and in “B” direction

for more depth. One full turn of the locking sleeve equals

2 mm (3/32”) change in depth.

Adjust the locking sleeve so that the tip of the locator is

flush with the base of the screw head. Drive a trial screw

into your material or a piece of duplicate material. If the

depth is still not suitable for the screw, continue adjusting

until you obtain the proper depth setting.

Switch action

CAUTION:

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see

that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns

to the “OFF” position when released.

To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed

is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.

Release the switch trigger to stop.

For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then

push in the lock button.

To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch

trigger fully, then release it.

Reversing switch action

This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of

rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to the posi-

tion (A side) for clockwise rotation or the position (B

side) for counterclockwise rotation.

CAUTION:

• Always check the direction of rotation before opera-

tion.

• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes

to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rota-

tion before the tool stops may damage the tool.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

Installing or removing the bit

Pull the locator out of the locking sleeve while turning the

locator slightly. Then grasp the bit with a pair of pliers and

pull the bit out of the magnetic bit holder. Sometimes, it

helps to wiggle the bit with the pliers as you pull.

To install the bit, push the bit firmly into the magnetic bit

holder. Then install the locator by pushing it firmly onto

the locking sleeve while turning the locator slightly.

OPERATION

Fit the screw on the point of the bit and place the point of

the screw on the surface of the workpiece to be fastened.

Apply pressure to the tool and start it. Withdraw the tool

as soon as the clutch cuts in. Then release the switch

trigger.

CAUTION:

• When fitting the screw onto the point of the bit, be

careful not to push in on the screw. If the screw is

pushed in, the clutch will engage and the screw will

rotate suddenly. This could damage a workpiece or

cause an injury.

• Make sure that the bit is inserted straight in the

screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be dam-

aged.

• Do not continue unnecessary clutching operation.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection

or maintenance.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,

carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other

maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Mak-

ita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using

Makita replacement parts.

ACCESSORIES

CAUTION:

• These accessories or attachments are recom-

mended for use with your Makita tool specified in

this manual. The use of any other accessories or

attachments might present a risk of injury to per-

sons. Only use accessory or attachment for its

stated purpose.

If you need any assistance for more details regarding
