Overview
Top Features	Powerful 13.5 AMP motor; 1,250-2,750 BPM to handle the most demanding jobs Anti-Vibration Technology is an internal counterbalance system that greatly reduces vibration and directs more impact energy to the work surface for increased user comfort and greater productivity Constant speed control automatically applies additional power to the motor to maintain speed under load to complete the most challenging jobs Soft start suppresses start-up reaction for more control and better accuracy Variable speed control dial enables user to match the speed to the application for greater versatility L.E.D. service light notifies the user approximately 8 hours before the brushes need to be replaced L.E.D. power lights indicate switch failure or cord damage 2-mode operation for “”Hammering Only”” or “”Hammering with Rotation”” for multiple applications Torque limiting clutch engineered to prevent gear damage by automatically disengaging gears if the bit binds Sequential impact timing delivers timed hammering during rotation to minimize overlapping bit impacts resulting in up to 50% faster drilling Makita Motor Advantage engineered with field core interlocking steel laminations, dual ball bearing armature and more copper commutator bars, increasing energy transfer efficiency for more power and longer tool life Extended life brushes are longer for more work between service intervals and less downtime 16 bit angle settings allow the bit to be set at different positions for operating convenience Automatic brush cut-off protects commutator from damage for longer tool life Lock-on slide switch for continuous operation (“”Hammering Only”” mode) One-touch sliding chuck for quick bit changes Rubberized ergonomic soft grip provides more comfort and control Accepts SDS-MAX bits Side Handle (151769-0) D-Handle (417003-1) Depth Gauge (321248-4) Bit Grease (194683-7) Tool Case HR4013C HR2621 HR2611F HR2811FX HR2475X2 HR2475 HR3210C HR2811F HR2470F HR4002 HR5210C HR4041C HR1830F HR4001C HR4010C HR2432 HR5000 Makita’s Anti-Vibration Technology incorporates a counterbalance system that reduces vibration for unmatched comfort Powerful 13.5 AMP motor; 1,250-2,750 BPM to handle the most demanding jobs Built-in Torque Limiter ensures stable torque control L.E.D. power light indicates switch failure or cord breakage; L.E.D. service light indicates carbon brushes need to be replaced. 1 year warranty	Ultra efficient AC Brushless motor extends product life and eliminates maintenance of armatures or carbon brushes UVP (User Vibration Protection) technology greatly reduces vibration for comfortable extended use and fewer vibration related injuries AHB (Aluminum Housing Body) construction significantly enhances the internal and external durability of the tool Superior performance when using a generator due to an internal inverter circuit that regulates uneven power supply Large change lever located for easy access on top of the tool, rotates for hammer drilling, hammer only or neutral Push button rotation speed selector switch transitions between four power levels of impact and rotation speed to match the application Built-in protection circuit prevents damage to the tool in the event of an abnormality like overload, binding, overheating etc Variable lock mechanism in neutral position allows for 12-angle positions for optimal working angle options Constant speed control increases power to the tool when under load to keep speed constant for smooth drilling Quick release bit system for fast and simple bit replacements for different applications
