Battery protection system
Lithium-ion batteries are equipped with a protection
system. This system automatically cuts off power to the
tool to extend battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool
and/or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions:
• Overloaded:
The tool is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current.
In this situation, release the switch trigger on
the tool and stop the application that caused
the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the
switch trigger again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery
cool before pulling the switch trigger again.
• Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and
the tool will not operate. In this situation,
remove and recharge the battery.
Battery remaining capacity indicator

• When only the lowermost indicator lamp (next to the
“E”) blinks, or when none of the indicator lamps light,
the battery capacity has run out, so the tool does not
operate. In these cases, charge the battery or
replace the empty battery with a fully charged one.
• When two or more indicator lamps do not light even
after charging is complete, the battery has reached
the end of its service life.
• When the upper two and lower two indicator lamps
light alternately, the battery may have malfunctioned.
Contact your local Makita authorized service center.
NOTE:
• The indicated capacity may be lower than the actual
level during use or immediately after using the tool.
• Depending on the conditions of use and the
ambient temperature, the indication may differ
slightly from the actual capacity.

Torque limiter
The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque level
is reached. The motor will disengage from the output
shaft. When this happens, the bit will stop turning.
CAUTION:
• As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off
the tool immediately. This will help prevent
premature wear of the tool.
• Hole saws cannot be used with this tool. They tend
to pinch or catch easily in the hole. This will cause
the torque limiter to actuate too frequently.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Side grip (auxiliary handle)
Fig.10
CAUTION:
• Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety.

OPERATION
Hammer drilling operation
Fig.18
Set the action mode changing knob to the symbol.
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.
CAUTION:
• 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.
NOTE:
Eccentricity in the 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.
Blow-out bulb (optional accessory)
Fig.19
After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the
dust out of the hole.
Chipping/Scaling/Demolition
Fig.20
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.
Drilling in wood or metal
For Model BHR262, HR262D
Fig.21
Fig.22
Use the optional drill chuck assembly. When installing it,
refer to "Installing or removing the bit" described on the
previous page.
Set the action mode changing knob so that the pointer
points to the symbol.
For Model BHR262T, HR262TD
Fig.23
Fig.24
Fig.25
Use the quick change drill chuck as standard equipment.
When installing it, refer to "changing the quick change
chuck for SDS-plus " described on the previous page.
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 clockwise
to tighten the chuck. To remove the bit, hold the ring and
turn the sleeve counterclockwise.
Set the action mode changing knob to the symbol.
You can drill up to 13 mm diameter in metal and up to 32
mm diameter in wood.
CAUTION:
• Never use "rotation with hammering" when the drill
chuck assembly is installed on the tool. The drill

10
chuck assembly may be damaged. Also, the drill
chuck will come off when reversing the tool.
• 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 twisting force exerted on the
tool/bit at the time of hole breakthrough. 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.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
Replacing carbon brushes
Fig.26
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps.
