To install the bit, place it in the chuck as far as it will go.
Tighten the chuck by hand. Place the chuck key in each
of the three holes and tighten clockwise. Be sure to
tighten all three chuck holes evenly.
To remove the bit, turn the chuck key counterclockwise in
just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.
OPERATION
015486
Holding the tool
Always hold the tool only by the handle when performing
an operation. Do not touch the metal part.
Drilling operation
Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with wood
drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw makes
drilling easier by pulling the bit into the workpiece.
Drilling in metal
To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole,
make an indentation with a center-punch and hammer at
the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the
indentation and start drilling.
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The
exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.

CAUTION:
Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up
•
the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only
serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the
tool performance and shorten the service life of the
tool.
There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit
•
at the time of hole break through. Hold the tool
firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break
through the workpiece.
Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar
•
hold-down device.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
•
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
