ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Side handle
CAUTION:
• Use the side handle only when chipping, scaling or
demolishing. Do not use it when drilling in concrete,
masonry, etc. The tool cannot be held properly with this
side handle when drilling. (Fig. 10)
The side handle can be swung 360° on the vertical and
secured at any desired position. It also secures at eight
different positions back and forth on the horizontal. Just
loosen the clamp nut to swing the side handle to a
desired position. Then tighten the clamp nut securely.
(Fig. 11)
Side grip (Fig. 12)
CAUTION:
• Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety
when drilling in concrete, masonry, etc.
The side grip swings around to either side, allowing easy
handling of the tool in any position. Loosen the side grip
by turning it counterclockwise, swing it to the desired
position and then tighten it by turning clockwise.
Installing or removing the bit
Clean the bit shank and apply bit grease before installing
the bit. (Fig. 13)
Insert the bit into the tool. Turn the bit and push it in until
it engages.
If the bit cannot be pushed in, remove the bit. Pull the
chuck cover down a couple of times. Then insert the bit
again. Turn the bit and push it in until it engages.
After installing, always make sure that the bit is securely
held in place by trying to pull it out. (Fig. 14)
To remove the bit, pull the chuck cover down all the way
and pull the bit out. (Fig. 15)
Bit angle (when chipping, scaling or demolishing)
The bit can be secured at 12 different angles. To change
the bit angle, depress the lock button and rotate the
change lever so that the pointer points to the
Turn the bit to the desired angle. (Fig. 16 & 17)
Depress the lock button and rotate the change lever so
that the pointer points to the
that the bit is securely held in place by turning it slightly.
(Fig. 18 & 19)
Depth gauge (Fig. 20)
The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of uni-
form depth. Loosen the clamp screw and adjust the
depth gauge to the desired depth. After adjusting, tighten
the clamp screw firmly.
NOTE:
• The depth gauge cannot be used at the position where
the depth gauge strikes against the gear housing/motor
housing.

OPERATION

Hammer drilling operation (Fig. 21)
Set the change lever to the
Position the bit at the desired location for the hole, then
pull the switch trigger. Do not force the tool. Light pres-
sure gives best results. Keep the tool in position and pre-
vent 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:
• When the bit begins to break through concrete or if the
bit strikes reinforcing rods embedded in concrete, the
tool may react dangerously. Maintain good balance and
safe footing while holding the tool firmly with both
hands to prevent dangerous reaction.
Blow-out bulb (optional accessory) (Fig. 22)
After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the
dust out of the hole.
Chipping/Scaling/Demolition (Fig. 23)
Set the change lever to the
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.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
Lubrication
CAUTION:
• This servicing should be performed by Makita Autho-
rized or Factory Service Centers only.
This tool requires no hourly or daily lubrication because it
has a grease-packed lubrication system. Lubricate the
tool every time the carbon brushes are replaced.
Run the tool for several minutes to warm it up. Switch off
and unplug the tool.
Loosen the four screws and remove the handle. Note that
the top screws are different from other screws. (Fig. 24)
Disconnect the connector by pulling them. (Fig. 25)
Loosen the screws and remove the change lever.
Remove the crank cap cover. (Fig. 26)
Remove the control plate. (Except for model HR4011C.)
(Fig. 27)
Loosen the six screws with a screwdriver and remove the
crank cap. Rest the tool on the table with the bit end
pointing upwards. This will allow the old grease to collect
inside the crank housing. (Fig. 28)
Wipe out the old grease inside and replace with a fresh
grease (60 g). Use only Makita genuine hammer grease
(optional accessory). Filling with more than the specified
amount of grease (approx. 60 g) can cause faulty ham-
mering action or tool failure. Fill only with the specified
amount of grease.
Reinstall the crank cap and tighten with the screwdriver.
