Due to our continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice.
Specifications may differ from country to country.
Weight according to EPTA-Procedure 01/2003

Intended use

The tool is intended for drilling in wood, metal and plastic.

Power supply

The tool should be connected only to a power supply of the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without earth wire.

Noise

The typical A-weighted noise level determined according to EN60745:

Model M6200
Sound pressure level (LpA) : 84 dB (A)
Sound power level (LWA) : 95 dB (A)
Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB (A)

Model M6201
Sound pressure level (LpA) : 82 dB (A)
Sound power level (LWA) : 93 dB (A)
Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB (A)

Wear ear protection

Vibration

The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined according to EN60745:
Work mode: drilling into metal
Vibration emission (ah,D) : 2.5 m/s2 or less
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2

The declared vibration emission value has been measured in accordance with the standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING:

The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared emission value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

General Power Tool Safety

Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS

Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.
Hold the tool firmly.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.

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.

For model M6200

CAUTION:

Switch can be locked in “ON” position for ease of operator comfort during extended use. Apply caution when locking tool in “ON” position and maintain firm grasp on tool.

Fig.1

To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger, push in the lock button and then release the switch trigger. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trigger fully, then release it.

For model M6201

CAUTION:

Change the direction of rotation only when the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing it before the tool stops may damage the tool.

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 back grip (country specific)

Fig.4

Pull off the cap from the tool housing. Insert the leaf springs into the groove of the handle part that has the bosses. Then attach them to the bottom of the tool housing.

Fig.5

Attach both of the handle parts and tighten them with the screws securely.

Installing or removing drill bit

Fig.6

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.

OPERATION

Fig.7

Drilling operation

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 M6201)
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.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Replacing carbon brushes

Fig.8

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.9

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.
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.
