Operation; Maintenance - Makita HR1830 Instruction Manual

OPERATION

Hammer drilling operation
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 embed-
ded 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.
When drilling in concrete, granite, etc., move the action
mode changing knob to the position of
"rotation with hammering" action.
Be sure to use a tungsten-carbide tipped bit.
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.
NOTE:
• Eccentricity in the bit rotation may occur while operat-
ing 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. 11)
After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the
dust out of the hole.
Drilling in wood or metal (Fig. 12 & 13)
Use the optional drill chuck assembly. When installing it,
refer to "Installing or removing drill bit" 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 clock-
wise to tighten the chuck.
To remove the bit, hold the ring and turn the sleeve coun-
terclockwise. Set the action mode changing knob to
"rotation only".
You can drill up to 13 mm diameter in metal and up to
24 mm diameter in wood.
Never use "rotation with hammering" when the drill chuck
assembly is installed on the tool. The drill chuck assem-
bly may be damaged.
Also, the drill chuck will come off when reversing the tool.
CAUTION:
• 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 perfor-
mance 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.
Diamond core drilling
When performing diamond core drilling operations,
always set the change lever to the
"rotation only" action.
CAUTION:
• If performing diamond core drilling operations using
"rotation with hammering" action, the diamond core bit
may be damaged.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
symbol to use
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other
maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Mak-
ita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita
replacement parts.
