If holes require to be drilled to an exact depth, the correct depth needs to be determined by drilling test holes. (Fig. 4)

1. Hold the power tool so that finger(s) does not press the switch trigger.
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 instruction 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 ordinance 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. Beating dust on the filter (Fig. 15) CAUTION:

• When using the tool with the dust collection system, be sure to attach the filter to the dust collection system to prevent dust inhalation.
• Before using the dust collection system, check that the filter is not damaged. Failure to do so may cause dust inhalation.
• Do not turn the dial on the dust case while the dust case is removed from the dust collection system. Doing so may cause dust inhalation.
• Always switch off the tool when turning the dial on the dust case. Turning the dial while the tool is running may result in the loss of control of the tool.
• By beating the dust on the filter inside the dust case, you can keep the vacuum efficiency and also reduce the number of times to dispose of the dust.
• Turn the dial on the dust case three times after collecting every 50,000 mm3 of dust or when you feel the vacuum performance declined.

NOTE:

• 50,000 mm3 of dust equivalents to drilling 10 holes of ø10 mm and 65 mm depth.

Switch-off delay function

• After turning off, the dust collection system will run for a few seconds longer to collect the remaining dust in the duct in the dust case.
