Operation - Makita HR2470 Instruction Manual

Torque limiter
The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque level
is reached. The motor will disengage from the output
shaft. When this happens, the bit will stop turning.
CAUTION:
• As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off the
tool immediately. This will help prevent premature wear
of the tool.
• Bits such as hole saw, which tend to pinch or catch
easily in the hole, are not appropriate for this tool. This
is because they will cause the torque limiter to actuate
too frequently.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Side grip (auxiliary handle) (Fig. 9)
CAUTION:
• Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety.
Install the side grip so that the teeth on the grip fit in
between the protrusions on the tool barrel. Then tighten
the grip by turning clockwise at the desired position. It
may be swung 360° so as to be secured at any position.
Bit grease
Coat the bit shank head beforehand with a small amount
of bit grease (about 0.5 – 1 g).
This chuck lubrication assures smooth action and longer
service life.
Installing or removing the bit
Clean the bit shank and apply bit grease before installing
the bit. (Fig. 10)
Insert the bit into the tool. Turn the bit and push it in until
it engages. (Fig. 11)
After installing, always make sure that the bit is securely
held in place by trying to pull it out.
To remove the bit, pull the chuck cover down all the way
and pull the bit out. (Fig. 12)
Bit angle (when chipping, scaling or demolishing)
The bit can be secured at the desired angle. To change
the bit angle, depress the lock button and rotate the
action mode changing knob to the O symbol. Turn the
bit to the desired angle. (Fig. 13)
Depress the lock button and rotate the action mode
changing knob to the
the bit is securely held in place by turning it slightly.
(Fig. 14)
Depth gauge (Fig. 15)
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 gear housing.

Dust cup (Fig. 16)
Optional accessory
Use the dust cup to prevent dust from falling over the tool
and on yourself when performing overhead drilling
operations. Attach the dust cup to the bit as shown in
Fig. 16. The size of bits which the dust cup can be
attached to is as follows.

OPERATION

Hammer drilling operation (Fig. 17)
Set the action mode changing knob to the
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.
CAUTION:
• There is 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.
NOTE:
• Eccentricity in the bit rotation may occur while
operating 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. 18)
After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the
dust out of the hole.
Chipping/Scaling/Demolition (Fig. 19)
Set the action mode changing knob 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.
