Learn To Use Your Drill like a Pro! (Settings On A Makita Drill)

If you have just got a shiny new Makita drill and are not sure about the settings on a Makita drill then let me help you out with this quick video. I go through all of the different Makita drill settings and explain what they do.

So if you don't know what the 1 and 2 settings mean, what the hammer settings are, or even what settings to use for screws then watch on!

Alright, I feel like a pro now, let me put it to the test. By the way, this is the most straightforward video on youtube, cutting all the bs out and getting straight to the point. Love it!

You forgot the lock position, between forward and reverse, so trigger can't be accidentally pushed on when in carry bag or jumbled with other items. Very important as I've had mine turn on many times going over bumps in back of van. It once drilled through a can of petrol and blew the dog and van up almost injuring a bus load of orphans.

I have the DHP484Z just bought, when in drill mode for example, does that bypass the torque setting?

For concrete what's the best speed?

[Irfan-judj]

Sir After the bit is inserted, it is not staying fixed, it is getting loose in seconds?

[faizsuaidi]

Great video! Which speed setting do you recommend when drilling into masonry?

[jamalmunroe]

You all forget the most simple thing like changing the bit. This is why we come here for help. Thanks for your video but it wasn't helpful. Changing the bit is what most beginners like me have trouble with. 🤷🏻‍♂️
