Makita 6501 [5/28] Maintenance

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.

• 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.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,

carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other

maintenance or adjustment should be performed by

Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita

replacement parts.
