away while operating a power tool. Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose control.
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
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.
Electrical Safety
4. Double insulated tools are equipped with
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-
trician to install a polarized outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way. Double insula-
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.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
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.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Tool Use and Care
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
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.
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.
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

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.
one tool, may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
SERVICE
23. Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
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.
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.
22. Use only accessories that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for
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
USB010-2
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to rotary hammer 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. Wear ear protectors when using the tool
for extended periods. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise can cause hearing
loss.
tion. Without proper warm-up, hammering
operation is difficult.
7. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the
tool in high locations.
3. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety
glasses and/or face shield. Ordinary eye
or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses. It
is also highly recommended that you wear
a dust mask and thickly padded gloves.
8. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
9. Keep hands away from moving parts.

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.
Hole saws, core bits, diamond core bits, etc. cannot be
used with this tool. They tend to pinch or catch easily in
the hole. This will cause the torque limiter to actuate too
frequently.
ASSEMBLY

Hammer drilling operation
Set the action mode changing knob to the
symbol.
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.
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.
002449
Blow-out bulb (optional accessory)
After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the dust
out of the hole.

Drilling in wood or metal
Use the optional drill chuck assembly. When installing it,
refer to “Installing or removing the bit” described on the previ-
ous page.
Set the action mode changing knob to “rotation only”.

12
CAUTION:
•
•
•
•
•
Never use “rotation with hammering” when the drill
chuck assembly is installed on the tool. The drill chuck
assembly may be damaged. Also, the drill chuck will
come off when reversing the tool.
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 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.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other mainte-
nance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Autho-
rized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita
replacement parts.
