MAKITA HP2070 (01) PDF SUMMARY:

What is the proper way to use an extension cord with this tool?

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

What gauge extension cord should I use?

Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

What are the Hammer Drill Safety Warnings?

• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.
• Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
• Keep hands away from rotating parts.
• Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
• Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
• Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

What precautions should I take when using the lamps?

Do not look in the light or see the source of light directly.

How do I use the reversing switch?

This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to position (A side) for clockwise rotation or position (B side) for counterclockwise rotation.

What precautions should I take when using the reversing switch?

• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool.
• If the switch trigger cannot be depressed, check to see that the reversing switch is fully set to position (A side) or (B side).

How do I change the speed?

Two-speed ranges can be preselected with the speed change knob. To change the speed, turn the speed change knob so that the arrow on the tool body points toward the “I” position on the knob for low speed or “II” position for high speed.

What should I do if the speed change knob is hard to turn?

If it is hard to turn the knob, first turn the chuck slightly in either direction and then turn the knob again.

What precautions should I take when using the speed change knob?

• Use the speed change knob only after the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the tool speed before the tool stops may damage the tool.
• Always set the speed change knob to the correct position. If you operate the tool with the speed change knob positioned halfway between the “I” and “II” position, the tool may be damaged.

How do I select the action mode?

This tool has an action mode change lever. For rotation with hammering, slide the action mode change lever to the right ( symbol). For rotation only, slide the action mode change lever to the left ( symbol).

What precautions should I take when selecting the action mode?

Always slide the action mode change lever all the way to your desired mode position. If you operate the tool with the lever positioned halfway between the mode symbols, the tool may be damaged.

What precautions should I take before carrying out any work on the tool?

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

How do I install the side grip (auxiliary handle)?

Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety. Install the side grip so that the teeth on the grip fit in between the protrusions on the tool barrel. Then tighten the grip by turning clockwise at the desired position. It may be swung 360° so as to be secured at any position.

How do I install or remove a drill bit?

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, be sure to return to the original position.

How do I use the depth gauge?

The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of uniform depth. Loosen the side grip and insert the depth gauge into the hole in the side grip. Adjust the depth gauge to the desired depth and tighten the side grip.

Where can I use the depth gauge?

The depth gauge cannot be used at the position where the depth gauge strikes against the tool body.

What precautions should I take when hammer drilling?

There is a tremendous and sudden twisting force exerted on the tool/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.

What is the procedure for hammer drilling operation?

When drilling in concrete, granite, tile, etc., move the action mode changing lever to the position of symbol to use “rotation with hammering” action. Be sure to use a tungsten-carbide tipped bit. Position the 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 bit partially from the hole. By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out and normal drilling may be resumed.

How do I use the blow-out bulb (optional accessory)?

After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the dust out of the hole.

What is the procedure for drilling operation?

When drilling in wood, metal, or plastic materials, move the action mode changing lever to the position of symbol to use “rotation only” action.

What is the procedure for drilling in wood?

When drilling in wood, the 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.

What is the procedure for drilling in metal?

To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an indentation with a center-punch 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 exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.

What precautions should I take when drilling?

• 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 force exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole break through. Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break through the workpiece.
• A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly.
• Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device.

What precautions should I take before performing inspection or maintenance?

• 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.

What do the indicator lamps mean?

The green power-ON indicator lamp lights up when the tool is switched ON. If the indicator lamp is lit but the tool does not start, the carbon brushes may be worn out, or the electric circuit or the motor may be defective. If the indicator lamp does not light up and the tool does not start, the ON/OFF switch or the mains cord may be defective. The red service indicator lamp lights up when the tool is excessively loaded. Continued operation under such a condition will result in a failure or breakage of the tool.

What should I do when the red service indicator lamp lights up?

At this time, cool down the tool by running the tool under no load.

How do I clean the vent holes?

The tool and its air vents have to be kept clean. Regularly clean the tool’s air vents or whenever the vents start to become obstructed.
