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 a single-phase AC
supply.
They are double-insulated in accordance with European Standards and can,
therefore, also be used from sockets without earth wire.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning! When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following. Read all these instructions before attempting to operate this product and save these instructions.
For safe operation:
-
Keep the work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries. -
Consider the work area environment
Don’t expose power tools to rain. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep the work area well-lit. Don’t use power tools in presence of flammable liquids or gases. -
Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators). -
Keep children away
Do not let visitors contact the tool or extension cord.
All visitors should be kept away from the work area. -
Store idle tools
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, high, or locked-up place, out of the reach of children. -
Don’t force the tool
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended. -
Use the right tool
Don’t force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tools for purposes not intended; for example, don’t use circular saws for cutting tree limbs or logs. -
Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. -
Use safety glasses and hearing protection
Also, use a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty. -
Connect dust extraction equipment
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. -
Don’t abuse the cord
Never carry the tool by cord or yank it to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. -
Secure work
Use clamps or a vise to hold the work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool. -
Don’t overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. -
Maintain tools with care
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. -
Disconnect tools
When not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories such as blades, bits, and cutters. -
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on. -
Avoid unintentional starting
Don’t carry a plugged-in tool with a finger on the switch.
Be sure the switch is off when plugging in. -
Outdoor use extension cords
When the tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked. -
Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate the tool when you are tired. -
Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches been replaced by an authorized service center? Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. -
Warning
The use of any other accessory or attachment other than that recommended in this operating instruction or the catalog may present a risk of personal injury. -
Have your tool repaired by an expert
This electric appliance is in accordance with the relevant safety rules. Repairing of electric appliances may be carried out only by experts otherwise it may cause considerable danger to the user.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
- 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.
- When drilling into walls, floors or wherever “live” electrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool by the insulated grasping surfaces to prevent electric shock if you drill into a “live” wire.
- Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
- Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece immediately after the operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Holding the tool
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the gripping part of the tool and the
other hand on the side grip when performing the tool.
Installing side grip (auxiliary handle) (Fig. 1)
Screw the side grip on the tool securely.
Installing or removing the drill bit
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing
or removing the bit.
For tools with standard keyed chuck (Fig. 2)
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 it
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 it to its original position.
For tools with keyless chuck (Fig. 3)
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 tightening the chuck. To remove the bit, hold the ring
and turn the sleeve counterclockwise.
Switch action (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released.
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.
Speed change (Fig. 5 & 6)
To change the tool speed, slide the speed change switches (A) and (B) to the
high or low positions.
Slide the speed change switch (A) while running the tool under no load. Slide
the speed change switch (B) while the tool is not running.
Tool speed combinations are shown in Fig. 6.
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’s performance and shorten the service life of the tool.
-
There is a tremendous 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.
-
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.
Replacement of carbon brushes (Fig. 7 & 8)
Replace carbon brushes when they are worn down to the limit mark. Both
identical carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, maintenance or adjustment
should be carried out by a Makita Authorized Service Center.
Noise and Vibration of Model 6300-4
The typical A-weighted sound pressure level is 85 dB (A).
The noise level under working may exceed 85 dB (A).
— Wear ear protection. —
The typical weighted root means square acceleration value is not more than 2.5
m/s2.
