Have you ever bought a tool and after you have used it you thought to yourself "why did I buy this". This sure isn't one of these! I've had mine for over 2 1/2 years and had absolutely no trouble at all. The power is certainly there and the batteries hold up under extreme use and cold weather unlike my Dewalt and Milwaukee Li-ion drills. I would and have recommended this to anyone. Thank you Makita for making such a reliable tool!!!
Get the biggest Allen wrench you can fit in the chuck and insert it with the long arm out. Set the clutch to drill and the transmission to low gear. Set the drill on a solid surface. Wack the Allen wrench a few times with a hammer so it turns the chuck in a counterclockwise direction looking at the front of the drill.
Leaf Spring Question by Randy
Hi,
I disassembled my drill to replace the armature. During reassembly I noticed an extra part, the leaf spring. Could you please let me know exactly where this spring goes and its installation procedure.
Bought in summer 2007 for a porch project. Beat on it a lot! Still recharges in 20 mins and is my first choice for all repairs. At $200 (includes 2 batteries) it's pricey (for me) but worth it.
Hi chris, Check the condition of the motor brushes first. If the brushes seem to have plenty of life left in them then it is likely a bad switch. The brushes are part #194427-5 and the switch is part # 650583-6. Both are available from http://www.ereplacementparts.com. Good luck with your repair! -Mark

Help!!!, before i twist and break it more than it already is, how do i remove the keyless chuck? Does the whole assembly twist off?? If so which way do i twist?? I believe it's broken, it will not turn at all.
