CORDLESS ROTARY HAMMER
SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety instructions for all operations
1. Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
2. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool.Lossofcontrolcancausepersonalinjury.
3.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.

make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits with
rotary hammers
1. Always start drilling at low speed and with the
bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting
inpersonalinjury.
2. Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend, causing breakage or loss of control, result-
inginpersonalinjury.
Additional safety warnings
1. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses
and/or face shield. Ordinary eye or sun glasses
are NOT safety glasses. It is also highly recom-
mended that you wear a dust mask and thickly
padded gloves.
2. Be sure the bit is secured in place before

Safety warnings about connecting
lanyard (tether strap) to the hook
Safety warnings specic for use at height
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
seriousinjury.
1. Always keep the tool tethered when working
"at height". Maximum lanyard length is 2 m.
The maximum permissible fall height for lan-
yard (tether strap) must not exceed 2 m.
2. Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool
type and rated for at least 10 kg.
3. Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on
your body or on movable components. Anchor
the tool lanyard to a rigid structure that can
withstand the forces of a dropped tool.
4. Make sure the lanyard is properly secured at
each end prior to use.
5. Inspect the tool and lanyard before each use
for damage and proper function (including
fabric and stitching). Do not use if damaged or
not functioning properly.
6. Do not wrap lanyards around or allow them to
come in contact with sharp or rough edges.
7. Fasten the other end of the lanyard outside
the working area so that a falling tool is held
securely.
8. Attach the lanyard so that the tool will move
away from the operator if it falls. Dropped tools
willswingonthelanyard,whichcouldcauseinjury
or loss of balance.
9. Do not use near moving parts or running
machinery. Failure to do so may result in a crush
or entanglement hazard.
10. Do not carry the tool by the attachment device
or the lanyard.
11. Only transfer the tool between your hands
while you are properly balanced.
12. Do not attach lanyards to the tool in a way that
keeps switches or trigger-lock (if supplied)
from operating properly.
13. Avoid getting tangled in the lanyard.
14. Keep lanyard away from the drilling area of the
tool.
15. Use a locking carabiner (multi-action and
screw gate type). Do not use single action
spring clip carabiners.
16. In the event the tool is dropped, it must be
tagged and removed from service, and should
be inspected by a Makita Factory or Authorized
Service Center.
Accidental restart preventive
function
If you install the battery cartridge while pulling the
switch trigger, the tool does not start. To start the tool,
release the switch trigger, and then pull the switch
trigger.
Torque limiter
NOTICE: As soon as the torque limiter actuates,
switch o󰀨 the tool immediately. This will help pre-
vent premature wear of the tool.
NOTICE: Drill bits such as hole saw, which tend
to pinch or catch easily in the hole, are not appro-
priate for this tool. This is because they will cause
the torque limiter to actuate too frequently.
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.
Electronic function
The tool is equipped with the electronic functions for
easy operation.
•Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric brake. If the
tool consistently fails to quickly cease to function
after the switch trigger is released, have the tool
serviced at a Makita service center.
•Constant speed control
The speed control function provides the constant
rotation speed regardless of load conditions.
•Active Feedback sensing Technology
If the tool is swung at the predetermined accelera-
tion during operation, the motor is forcibly stopped
to reduce the burden on the wrist.
NOTE: This function does not work if the acceleration
does not reach the predetermined one when the tool
is swung.
NOTE: If the bit is swung at the predetermined
acceleration during chipping, scaling, or demolishing,
the motor is forcibly stopped. In this case, release
the switch trigger, and then pull the switch trigger to
restart the tool.
