Hammer Drilling Operation; Depth Gauge; Installing Side Grip; Assembly - Makita HP1630 Instruction Manual

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Switch action (Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
• Switch can be locked in "ON" position for ease of
operator comfort during extended use. Apply caution
when locking tool in "ON" position and maintain firm
grasp on tool.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed
is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then
push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
Reversing switch action (Fig. 2)
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Move the reversing switch to the
side) for clockwise rotation or the
counterclockwise rotation.
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage the tool.
• If the switch trigger can not be depressed, check to see
that the reversing switch is fully set to position
side) or (B side).
Selecting the action mode (Fig. 3)
This tool has an action mode change lever. For rotation
with hammering, slide the action mode change lever to
the right ( symbol). For rotation only, slide the action
mode change lever to the left ( symbol).
CAUTION:
• Always slide the action mode change lever all the way
to your desired mode position. If you operate the tool
with the lever positioned halfway between the mode
symbols, the tool may be damaged.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing side grip (auxiliary handle)
(Fig. 4)
Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety. Install
the side grip on tool barrel.
Then tighten the grip by turning clockwise securely at the
desired position. It may be swung 360° so as to be
secured at any position.

NOTE:
• The side grip cannot swing 360° when the depth gauge
is installed.
Installing or removing drill bit
For Model HP1630 (Fig. 5)
To install the bit, place it in the chuck as far as it will go.
Tighten the chuck by hand. Place the chuck key in each of
the three holes and tighten clockwise. Be sure to tighten
all three chuck holes evenly.
To remove the bit, turn the chuck key counterclockwise in
just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.
For Model HP1631 (Fig. 6)
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 clockwise
to tighten the chuck.
To remove the bit, hold the ring and turn the sleeve
counterclockwise.
Depth gauge (optional accessory) (Fig. 7)
The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of uniform
depth. Loosen the side grip and insert the depth gauge
into the hole in the side grip. Adjust the depth gauge to the
desired depth and tighten the side grip.
NOTE:
• The depth gauge cannot be used at the position where
the depth gauge strikes against the tool body.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Always use the side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly
hold the tool by both side grip and switch handle during
operations.
Hammer drilling operation (Fig. 8)
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
embedded 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, tile, etc., move the
action mode changing lever to the position of
use "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 pressure
gives best results. Keep the tool in position and prevent 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.
