Using the Makita 6408K drill is easy. First, make sure the drill is unplugged before you insert or remove the drill bit. Open the keyless chuck and place the bit in it, then tighten the chuck by hand. Once the bit is secure, you're ready to start drilling. To control the speed, simply press the trigger switch harder for higher speeds and lighter for lower speeds. If you need to drill in reverse, use the conveniently located reversing switch. When using the drill, always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying debris. Don't use the drill in wet conditions as it can be a safety hazard. Also, avoid overloading the drill by trying to drill materials that are too thick or hard for its capacity. For maintenance, after each use, clean the drill with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Check the chuck regularly to make sure it's tight and in good condition. If the drill is not going to be used for a long time, store it in the included tool case in a dry place. This will help keep it in good working order and extend its lifespan.
