USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of
a heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended.
DRESSPROPERLY. Don’t wear looseclothingorjewelry.They can becaught
in movingparts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended
whenworking outdoors. Wear protective haircoveringtocontainlonghair.
USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation
is dusty.
DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carrytoolby cord or yank
it todisconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using
your hand and
it frees both hands to operate tool.
DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keeptools sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructionsfor lubricating and changing acces-
sories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by
authorized service facility. Inspectextension cords periodically and replace

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to
see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turn-
ing it on.
AVOID UNINTENTIONALSTARTING. Don't carry plugged-intool withfinger
on switch. Be sure switch is
OFF when plugging in.
OUTDOOR USEEXTENSIONCORDS. Whentool is usedoutdoors, useonly
extension cords intended for use outdoors and
so marked.
STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Don't oper-
ate tool when you are tired.
CHECK DAMAGEDPARTS. Before further use of the tool,
a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checkedto determine that
it will
operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of movingparts, binding of movingparts, breakageof parts, mounting, and
any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
servicecenter unlessotherwise indicatedelsewhere
in thisinstruction manu-
al. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Don't
use tool if switch does not turn
it on and off.
GUARDAGAINST ELECTRIC
SHOCK. Preventbody contact withgrounded
surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
PROPER GROUNDING. This tool should be grounded while in use to pro-
tect the operator from electric shock.
EXTENSIONCORDS: Useonly three-wire extensioncords which havethree-
prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles which accept the
tool's plug. Replace or repair damaged or worn cord immediately.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connectingthe tool toa power source (receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplateof the tool. A power source withvoltage greater than that specified
for the tool can result
in SERIOUS INJURY tothe user - as well as damage to
the tool. If
in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with
voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

For all groundedtools with American type plug.
GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS: This tool should begrounded while inuse to protect the operator
from electric shock. The
tool is equipped with athree-conductorcordand three-prong grounding-
type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. The green (or green andyellow) conductor
in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live
terminal. Your unit
is for use on 115 volts and has aplugthat looks like,Fig. "A".
An adapter Fig. "B" and
"C" is available for connecting Fig. "A" type plugstotwo-prong recap
tacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, etc., extending from the adapter must be connected to
a
permanentground, such as a properly groundedoutlet box.

Wear a hard hat (safety helmet) and an ear protector if necessary.
Be sure the drill bit is secured in place before operation.
Under normal operation, the tool is designed to produce vibration. The
screws can come loose easily, causing a breakdown or accident. Check
tightness
of screws carefully before operation.
Incold weather or when the tool has not been usedfor a longtime, let
the
tool warm up for several minutes by operating it under no load. This will
loosen
up the lubrication. Without proper warm-up hammering operation
is difficult.
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. Always use the side grip.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
Do not point the tool at any one in the area when operating. The drill bit
could fly out and injure someone seriously.
When drilling intowalls, floors
or wherever ”live” electrical wires may be
encountered,
DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL!
Holdthe tool only by the plastic handle or the side grip to prevent electric
shock
if you drill into a “live” wire.
Do nottouchthedrill bit or parts closetothe drill bitimmediately after oper-
ation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

HOW TO USE
Bitgrease
0 Coat the drill bit shank head beforehand with a small amount (about 0.5 - 1 g; 0.02 -
0.04 02.) of bit grease. This chuck lubrication assures smooth actionand longer service
life.

Switchaction
Tool speed is increased by increasingpres-
sure on the trigger. To
start the tool,
simply pull the trigger.
Release the

Fig. t
.A speed control screw is provided so that tool speed (RPM)can be changed at the fully-
pulled trigger position. Turn the speed control screw clockwise
(+) for higher speed and
counterclockwise
(-) for lowerspeed.
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to
see that the triggerswitch actuates properly
and returnstothe
"OFF" positionwhen released.
Hammerdrilling operation
.Position the drill bit
at the location for
the hole, then pull the trigger.
Do not force the tool. Light pressure
gives best results. Keep the tool in posi-
tion and prevent
it from slipping away
from the hole.
When holes becomeclogged
.Do not apply more pressure when the
hole becomes clogged with chips or par-
ticles. Instead, run the tool at idle, then
remove from the hole. By repeating this
several times, the holewill
be cleaned out
completely.

CAUTION:
When drilling in concrete,
it is quite possible that the drill bitcouldhit a reinforcingrod
or some other object that could cause
a kickback. Although this tool is equipped with
the torque limiter, protect yourself by holdingthe tool firmlywith both hands. (Be sure
the side grip
is securedtightly before operation.)

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always
be sure that the tool is switchedoff and unpluggedbeforeattemptingtoperform
inspectionand maintenance.
Replacing carbon brushes
0 Both carbon brushes should be replaced
after about
150 hours of use. When the
resin insulating tip inside the carbon
brush
is exposed to contact the com-
mutator,
it will automatically shut off
the motor. If carbon brushes wear out
too quickly, ask Makita Authorized or
Factory Service Centers to determine
the cause before replacing them. Use
only Makitacarbon brushes.
*Use the screwdriver to remove the brush
