What materials can I drill with this Makita 6408?
It’s suitable for drilling into wood, metal, and plastic. The variable speed helps tailor performance for different materials, and it supports light-duty metal drilling and screwdriving tasks.
How do I change drill bits with the chuck on this model?
This drill uses a 3/8-inch keyed chuck. To change bits, insert the desired bit into the chuck and tighten securely using the chuck key. Ensure the bit is straight and fully seated before drilling.
What safety precautions should I follow when using this drill?
Wear eye protection, use clamps to secure workpieces, keep hands away from the rotating bit, and always switch off and unplug (or remove the battery, if applicable) before changing bits or attachments. Inspect bits for damage before use and avoid dull or bent bits.
