The Makita DTD171 Cordless Impact Driver is a versatile power tool designed for screw driving in wood, metal, and plastic. It is a battery-operated device, emphasizing portability and ease of use in various work environments.
The core function of the DTD171 is impact tightening of fasteners, providing significant torque and speed for efficient screw driving. It features a robust motor that delivers high rotational speed and impacts per minute, making it suitable for both light and heavy-duty applications. The tool's design incorporates a quick mode-switching function, allowing users to easily adapt the impact force and assist type to the specific task at hand.
The impact driver operates with a switch trigger that controls the tool's speed; increasing pressure on the trigger increases the speed. For safety and to prevent accidental starts, the switch trigger must return to the "OFF" position when released. A front lamp is integrated to illuminate the workpiece, enhancing visibility in dimly lit areas. This lamp can be turned on by pulling the switch trigger and turns off automatically after approximately 10 seconds of releasing the trigger. Users can also toggle the lamp status (ON/OFF) by pressing a dedicated button.
Direction of rotation is controlled by a reversing switch lever, enabling both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation for tightening and loosening fasteners. It is crucial to ensure the tool comes to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation to prevent damage. When not in use, the reversing switch lever should be set to the neutral position to prevent unintentional starting.
The DTD171 is equipped with a tool/battery protection system that automatically cuts off power to the motor under certain conditions to extend the life of both the tool and the battery. This includes overheat protection, which stops the tool if it or the battery becomes too hot, and overdischarge protection, which activates when the battery capacity is too low.
The DTD171 offers several features to enhance usability and adaptability:
