Makita 6404 Cordless Drill User Manual


 
Installing or removing drill
bit
CAUTION
:
Always be sure that the tool
is
switched off and unplugged before installing or removing
the bit.
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.
Switch action
Move the reversing switch lever to the
"FWD" position for clockwise rotation or
the
"REV"
position for counterclockwise.
The trigger switch does not actuate if the
reversing switch lever
is
in the neutral posi-
tion.
Tool
speed
is
increased by increasing pres-
sure on the trigger.
To
start the tool,
simply pull the trigger.
Release
the trigger
to stop. For continuous operation, pull the
trigger and then push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position,
pull the trigger fully, then release it. A
speed control screw
is
provided
so
that
maximum tool speed can be limited (vari-
able). Turn the speed control screw clock-
wise for higher speed, and counterclock-
wise for lower speed.
