SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to drill safety rules. If you use this power tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious per-
sonal injury.
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tools
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the opeator.
2. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
3. Hold the tool firmly.
4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
6. Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece imme-
diately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
7. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6407/6408
Installing or removing drill bit
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the bit.
For 6407 (Fig. 1)
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, remember to return it to the
chuck key holder.
For 6408 (Fig. 2)
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 clock-
wise to tighten the chuck.
To remove the bit, hold the ring and turn the sleeve coun-
terclockwise.
Switch action (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
GEB002-2
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. tool speed is
increased by increasing pressure on the trigger. Release
the trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trig-
ger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from
the locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it.
Reversing switch action (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before drilling.
• Use the reversing switch lever only after the tool comes
to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage the tool.
Drilling operation
• Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, 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 centerpunch 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 excep-
tions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
