| 2 | 290 | 1,650 |
| 1 | 250 | 1,450 |
Should I turn the adjusting dial when the tool is running?
No, do not turn the adjusting dial when the tool is running. Failure to do so may result in the loss of control of the tool and cause an injury.
What happens if the tool is operated continuously at low speed for a long time?
If the tool is operated continuously at low speed for a long time, the motor will get overloaded, resulting in tool malfunction.
How far can the speed adjusting dial turn?
The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer work.
What does the tool do when the speed adjusting dial is set to “3” or higher?
When the speed adjusting dial is set to “3” or higher, the tool automatically reduces the speed at no-load to reduce the vibration under no-load. Once operation starts with a bit against concrete, blows per minute increase and reach the numbers as shown in the table. When temperature is low and there is less fluidity in grease, the tool may not have this function even with the motor rotating.

Should I rotate the action mode changing knob when the tool is running?
No, do not rotate the action mode changing knob when the tool is running. The tool will be damaged. To avoid rapid wear on the mode change mechanism, be sure that the action mode changing knob is always positively located in one of the three action mode positions.
How do I select the rotation with hammering action mode?
For drilling in concrete, masonry, etc., rotate the action mode changing knob to the symbol. Use a carbide-tipped drill bit.
How do I select the hammering only action mode?
For chipping, scaling or demolition operations, rotate the action mode changing knob to the symbol. Use a bull point, cold chisel, scaling chisel, etc.
What should I do as soon as the torque limiter actuates?
As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off the tool immediately. This will help prevent premature wear of the tool.
What type of drill bits are not appropriate for this tool?
Drill bits such as hole saw, which tend to pinch or catch easily in the hole, are not appropriate for this tool. This is because they will cause the torque limiter to actuate too frequently.
What does the torque limiter do?
The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque level is reached. The motor will disengage from the output shaft. When this happens, the drill bit will stop turning.
What does the constant speed control do?
Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed. Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is kept constant even under load condition.
What should I do before carrying out any work on the tool?
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the tool.
When should I use the side handle?
Use the side handle only when chipping, scaling or demolishing. Do not use it when drilling in concrete, masonry, etc. The tool cannot be held properly with this side handle when drilling.
How do I adjust the side handle?
The side handle can be swung 360° on the vertical and secured at any desired position. It also secures at eight different positions back and forth on the horizontal. Loosen the clamp nut to swing the side handle to a desired position, and then tighten the clamp nut securely.
When should I use the side grip (auxiliary handle)?
Always use the side grip to ensure safe operation. After installing or adjusting the side grip, make sure that the side grip is firmly secured.
How do I adjust the side grip (auxiliary handle)?

How do I remove a drill bit?
To remove the drill bit, pull the chuck cover down all the way and pull the drill bit out.
How do I change the chisel angle?
The chisel can be secured at the desired angle. To change the chisel angle, rotate the action mode changing knob to the O symbol. Turn the chisel to the desired angle. Rotate the action mode changing knob to the symbol. Then make sure that the chisel is securely held in place by turning it slightly.
How do I use the depth gauge?
The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of uniform depth. Press and hold the lock button, and then insert the depth gauge into the hex hole. Make sure that the toothed side of the depth gauge faces the marking. Adjust the depth gauge by moving it back and forth while pressing the lock button. After the adjustment, release the lock button to lock the depth gauge. Make sure that the depth gauge does not touch the main body of the tool when attaching it.
How do I install the dust extractor attachment?
- Loosen the side grip on the tool.
- Install the dust cover so that the claws of the dust cover fit in the grooves between the tool and the side grip.
- Tighten the side grip securely.
- Set the suitable bellows or dust cover extension for your work. When you use bellows, attach the joint to its top. When you stack two bellows, connect them with the joint.
How do I connect the tool to the vacuum cleaner?
- Attach the holder joint to the tool, and then attach the hose holder to the holder joint.
- Fix the hose to the hose holder. Use joint 25 to connect the hose and the dust cover if necessary. When you stack two bellows, attach the depth gauge extension to the depth gauge.
How do I install the dust extractor attachment (for hammering only)?
- Install the hose holder. When the side handle is installed to tool, loosen the clamp nut, and then remove the hex bolt. Install the hose holder with the hex bolt and the clamp nut by tightening the clamp nut firmly. When the side grip is installed to the tool, loosen the side grip, mount the hose holder to the shaft, and then tighten the side grip firmly.
- Attach the holder joint to the tool, and then attach the hose holder to the holder joint.
- Attach the dust cover and the hose to the tool, and then fix the hose to the hose holders.
- Connect the hose to the hose of the vacuum cleaner with the hose joint. If the hose is not included, attach the dust cover to the cleaner’s joint or attach it to Makita’s hose ø28.
- Adjust the distance between the dust cover and the tip of the chisel or bull point. The recommended distance is 30 mm to 100 mm.
How should I hold the tool during operations?
Always use the side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold the tool by both side grip and switch handle during operations.
What should I do to the workpiece before operation?
Always make sure that the workpiece is secured before operation.
What should I do if the bit gets stuck?
Do not pull the tool out forcibly even the bit gets stuck. Loss of control may cause injury.

If the battery cartridge is in low temperature, the tool’s capability may not be fully obtained. In this case, warm up the battery cartridge by using the tool with no load for a while to fully obtain the tool’s capability.
What should I do at the time of hole break-through, when the hole becomes clogged with chips and particles, or when striking reinforcing rods?
There is tremendous and sudden twisting force exerted on the tool/drill bit at the time of hole break-through, when the hole becomes clogged with chips and particles, or when striking reinforcing rods embedded in the concrete. Always use the side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold the tool by both side grip and switch handle during operations. Failure to do so may result in the loss of control of the tool and potentially severe injury.
How should I drill a hole?
Set the action mode changing knob to the symbol. Position the drill bit at the desired location for the hole, then pull the switch trigger. Do not force the tool. Light pressure gives best results. Keep the tool in position and prevent it from slipping away from the hole. Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at an idle, then remove the drill bit partially from the hole. By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out and normal drilling may be resumed.
What is the eccentricity in the drill bit rotation and does it affect the drilling precision?
Eccentricity in the drill bit rotation may occur while operating the tool with no load. The tool automatically centers itself during operation. This does not affect the drilling precision.
How do I use the tool for chipping/scaling/demolition?
Set the action mode changing knob to the symbol. Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on and apply slight pressure on the tool so that the tool will not bounce around, uncontrolled. Pressing very hard on the tool will not increase the efficiency.
