BEFORE USE

Installing or removing the dust extraction system

WARNING

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the tool. Failure to switch off and remove the battery cartridge may result in serious personal injury from accidental start-up.
• Before installing the dust extraction system, make sure that the attachment points and the power tool itself, particularly the electrical interface on the power tool, are free from dust and foreign matter. After installing the dust extraction system, also make sure that it is securely installed.

NOTE:

• This dust extraction system is intended for use when drilling in only concrete. Never use this system when drilling in metal or wood.
• This dust collection system collects a significant percentage of the dust produced at work but not all of it.
• Empty the filter container regularly. Failure to empty the filter container regularly may cause dust to be released.
• Do not use the dust extraction system in core drilling or chiselling applications.

To install the dust extraction system, follow the procedure below

1. Hold the power tool so that finger(s) does not press the switch trigger. (Fig. 1)
2. Align the interface of the attachment with the power tool guide and slide it on the tool until it locks with a double-click sound.
3. After installing the attachment on the power tool, make sure that it is secured properly.

To remove the dust extraction system, follow the procedure below.

1. Hold the power tool so that finger(s) does not press the switch trigger . (Fig. 2)
2. Press the release button on the attachment and with the button pressed pull it away from the power tool.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Do not use the tool in wet conditions such as work on concrete surfaces and similar.

Adjusting the tip protrusion length

The protrusion of the tip is adjustable according to your hammer drill bit length.

1. Hold the power tool so that finger(s) does not press the switch trigger. (Fig. 3)

2. CAUTION: When the stroke adjusting button is pressed, the telescopic section is released and then it may jump out up to 100 mm under spring pressure. Wear goggles. Keep the bar tip of the attachment away from any objects keeping the above jumping-out distance in mind and never point the attachment at yourself, a bystander or animals. Press the stroke adjusting button and keep pressing it.
   NOTE: When starting to press the stroke adjusting button, always leave the sliding bar free and not hold it with your hand.

3. Press the power tool with the hammer drill bit installed against the wall until the drill bit tip touches the wall.

4.  Release the stroke adjusting button to lock it.

Setting the drilling depth (depth gauge)

If holes require to be drilled to an exact depth, the correct depth needs to be determined by drilling test holes.

1. Hold the power tool so that finger(s) does not press the switch trigger . (Fig. 4)
2. Press the depth gauge button and with the button pressed slide the lock button carriage to the desired length and release it. The distance (X) between the attachment housing and the depth gauge button is equal to the drilling depth.

Operation

CAUTION

• Always follow the instructions in OPERATION of the instruction manual for Makita hammer drills. Failure to observe the instruction manual may cause personal injury.

WARNING

• Always follow national laws, regulations and ordinances which prescribe working with materials hazardous to health.

Drilling
When drilling into concrete, hold the power tool firmly with both hands so that the entire nozzle top keeps in tight contact with the concrete surface. Any part of the nozzle away from the concrete surface may cause poor dust collection.

Switch-off delay function

After turning off, the dust extraction system will run for a few seconds longer to collect the remaining dust in the duct in the dust container.\

Emptying the dust container

NOTE

Too much dust in the dust container would result in a considerable loss of dust-extracting power. Accordingly, clean out the dust container regularly.

CAUTION

• Wear respiratory protection when emptying the dust container.
• Do not touch the filter section when cleaning it.
• Do not use a brush or air duster to clean the filter section. Using a brush or compressed air may damage the filter.

1. Before removing the dust container from the attachment, hold the power tool horizontally. (Fig. 5)
2. Press the dust container release button and with the button depressed pivot it on the lower side axis.
3. Remove the dust container from the attachment. (Fig. 6)
4. To open the dust container, raise the lever lightly and then pivot the transparent section. (Fig. 7)
5. Empty the dust container by tapping it lightly. Be careful not to let out excessive dust in the air.
6. Remount the dust container in place on the attachment.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

NOTE

• Do not use water, oil, grease, detergent or cleaning agents.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Cleaning of the attachment

2. Remove the dust container from the attachment. (Fig. 9)
3. Pry up the filter cover on the dust container using a slotted bit screwdriver to be inserted into the slit. (Fig. 10)
4. Pull the old filter away from the dust container by hand. (Fig. 11)
5. Put a new filter in the original position. (Fig. 12)
6. Snap the filter cover on the dust container. (Fig. 13)
7. Remount the dust container in place on the attachment.

Replacing the sealing cap (Fig. 14)
Using a worn or damaged sealing cap may cause poor dust collection. Check the sealing cap regularly. When the sealing cap is worn or damaged, replace it as follows.

1. Remove the sealing cap from the dust extraction system by hand.
2. Put a new sealing cap on the dust extraction system so that the protrusion on it is positioned on the upper side.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
