What does that mean--inside on ignition ?

Only you know, if it came with or has a light
when you pull the trigger

Yes. Dewalt says the 18volt XRP battery is compatible with all Dewalt 18volt tools

Have a great day.

Just buy a new Makita 18volt.

there is a screw inside the chuck inline with it, I believe it has a reverse thread so turn it counter clockwise to remove

Your speed switch is between gears, pull the trigger lightly and slide the speed switch back and fourth until it is fully engaged. Also turn the clutch setting all the way down then all the way back to lock it is not uncommon for them to get dodgy.

Go to dewaltservicenet.com and look up your model. (Hint: Press the "Go" button on the screen not the Enter button on your keyboard to submit your model in the field). Make sure you have your type number available.

If your transmission is in a million pieces I can help you get it back together. There is no diagram for the transmissions.
