ASSEMBLY
Installing or removing drill bit
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before installing or
removing the drill bit.
For model M6000, M6001
► Fig.3: 1. Drill chuck 2. Chuck key
To install the drill bit, place it in the drill 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 drill bit, turn the drill chuck key counter-
clockwise in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by
hand.
For Model M6002
► Fig.4: 1. Sleeve 2. Ring
Hold the ring and turn the sleeve counterclockwise to
open the chuck jaws. Place the drill bit in the drill chuck
as far as it will go. Hold the ring firmly and turn the
sleeve clockwise to tighten the chuck.
To remove the drill bit, hold the ring and turn the sleeve
counterclockwise.
OPERATION
Holding the tool
► Fig.5
Always hold the tool only by the handle when perform-
ing an operation. Do not touch the metal part.
Drilling operation
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 drill
bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the
service life of the tool.
CAUTION:
Hold the tool firmly and exert care
when the drill bit begins to break through the
workpiece. There is a tremendous force exerted on
the tool/drill bit at the time of hole break through.
CAUTION:
Always secure workpieces in a
vise or similar hold-down device.
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 drill bit into
the workpiece.
Drilling in metal
To prevent the drill 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
drill bit in the indentation and start drilling.
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The excep-
tions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
NOTICE:
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 or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
