FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the

tool.

Switch action

CAUTION:

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that

the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the

"OFF" position when released.

• Change the direction of rotation only when the tool

comes to a complete stop. Changing it before the tool

stops may damage the tool. (Model 6013BR only)

For Model 6013B (Fig. 1)

To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release the

switch trigger to stop.

For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then

push in the lock button.

To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch

trigger fully, then release it.

For Model 6013BR (Fig. 2)

The switch is reversible, providing either clockwise or

counterclockwise rotation. To start the tool, simply pull the

lower part of the switch trigger for clockwise or the upper

part for counterclockwise. Release the switch trigger to

stop.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

Installing top grip (auxiliary handle)

(Fig. 3)

Screw the top grip on the tool securely.

Installing or removing drill bit

For tool with standard keyed chuck (Fig. 4)

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.

After using the chuck key, be sure to return to the original

position.

For tool with keyless chuck (Fig. 5)

Hold the ring and turn the sleeve counterclockwise to

open the chuck jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as it

will go. Hold the ring firmly and turn the sleeve clockwise

to tighten the chuck.

To remove the bit, hold the ring and turn the sleeve

counterclockwise.

OPERATION

Drilling operation (Fig. 6)

Always use the top or back grip (auxiliary handle) and

firmly hold the tool by top or back grip and switch handle

during operations.

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 twisting force exerted on the

tool/bit at the time of hole breakthrough. Hold the tool

firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break

through the workpiece.

• A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the

reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back

out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do

not hold it firmly. (For Model 6013BR)

• Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar

hold-down device.

• Avoid drilling in material that you suspect contains

hidden nails or other things that may cause the bit to

bind or break.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or

maintenance.

Replacing carbon brushes

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace

when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon

brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon

brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only

identical carbon brushes. (Fig. 7)

Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take

out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and

secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 8)

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.
