tion
eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system.
14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary
eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.
5. Avoid body contact with grounded sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
Tool Use and Care
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
15. Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
to carry the tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
16. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
8. When operating a power tool outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”
or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Personal Safety
18. Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
21. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-
viced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
12. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool on. A wrench or a
key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.

mended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
tenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
24. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
SERVICE
23. Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num-
ber, the heavier the cord.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
USB002-2
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to hammer drill safety
rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer
serious personal injury.
1. Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
2. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
3. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
Always use the side grip.
4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.

5. Do not leave the tool running.
7. Some material contains chemicals which
may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow mate-
rial supplier safety data.
Operate the tool only when hand-held.
6. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.

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 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., depress the
action mode changing button from the side with symbol
fully to 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 slip-

ping 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 sev-
eral times, the hole will be cleaned out and normal drilling
may be resumed.
002449
Blow-out bulb (optional accessory)
After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the dust
out of the hole.

Drilling operation
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
performance and shorten the service life of the tool.
•
•
There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit at the
time of hole break through. 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.
When drilling in wood, metal or plastic materials, depress the
action mode changing button from the side with symbol
fully to use “rotation only” action.
Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with
wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw
makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the workpiece.

Drilling in metal
To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole, make
an indentation with a center-punch and hammer at the point
to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the indentation and
start drilling.
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions
are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
MAINTENANCE
ACCESSORIES
CAUTION:
•

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, car-
bon brush inspection and replacement, any other mainte-
nance or adjustment should be performed by Makita

WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
MAKITA LIMITED ONE YEAR WARRANTY
