Operation
CAUTION:
• Always follow the instruction in OPERATION of the instruction manual for Makita hammer drills. Failure to observe
the instruction manual may cause personal injury.
WARNING:
• Always follow national laws, regulations and ordinance which prescribe working with materials hazardous to health.
Drilling
When drilling into concrete, hold the power tool firmly with both hands so that the entire nozzle top keeps in tight contact
with the concrete surface. Any part of the nozzle away from the concrete surface may cause poor dust collection.
Beating dust on the filter (Fig. 15)
CAUTION:
• When using the tool with the dust collection system, be sure to attach the filter to the dust collection system to prevent
dust inhalation.
• Before using the dust collection system, check that the filter is not damaged. Failure to do so may cause dust
inhalation.
• Do not turn the dial on the dust case while the dust case is removed from the dust collection system. Doing so may
cause dust inhalation.
• Always switch off the tool when turning the dial on the dust case. Turning the dial while the tool is running may result
in the loss of control of the tool.
By beating the dust on the filter inside the dust case, you can keep the vacuum efficiency and also reduce the number
of times to dispose of the dust.
Turn the dial on the dust case three times after collecting every 50,000 mm
