5.	Be sure the bit is secured in place before
	operation.
6.	Under normal operation, the tool is designed
	to produce vibration. The screws can come
	loose easily, causing a breakdown or accident.
	Check tightness of screws carefully before
	operation.
7.	In cold weather or when the tool has not been
	used for a long time, let the tool warm up for a
	while by operating it under no load. This will
	loosen up the lubrication. Without proper
	warm-up, hammering operation is difficult.
8.	Always be sure you have a firm footing.
	Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
	high locations.
9.	Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
10.	Keep hands away from moving parts.
11.	Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
	only when hand-held.
12.	Do not point the tool at any one in the area
	when operating. The bit could fly out and
	injure someone seriously.
13.	Do not touch the bit or parts close to the bit
	immediately after operation; they may be
	extremely hot and could burn your skin.

HR5000K, HR500 specifications

The Makita HR500 and HR5000K are powerful rotary hammers designed for heavy-duty applications in construction and masonry work. Both models cater to professionals seeking robustness, efficiency, and precision in their tasks.

One of the standout features of these rotary hammers is their impressive motor power. The HR500 is equipped with a 10 Amp motor, while the HR5000K boasts a slightly more powerful 11 Amp motor, delivering high performance in drilling and chiseling operations. This ensures that both tools can tackle tough materials like concrete, brick, and stone with ease.

A notable technology incorporated in these models is the Active Vibration Control system. This innovation significantly reduces the amount of vibration experienced during operation, which not only enhances user comfort but also reduces fatigue during long working hours. The result is an improved overall experience, allowing users to maintain higher productivity levels throughout their tasks.

The HR500 and HR5000K feature a two-mode operation: rotary hammer mode and hammer-only mode. This versatility allows users to switch between different applications without the need for additional tools. The mechanical clutch protects the operator and the tool itself by disengaging the drive mechanism if the bit binds, preventing potential damage and ensuring safety.

Both models are designed with durability in mind. The housing is constructed from high-quality materials that can withstand the rigors of daily use on job sites. Additionally, these rotary hammers feature robust gears and components, ensuring a longer lifespan and dependable performance even under heavy loads.

In terms of user-friendliness, the HR500 and HR5000K come with ergonomic designs that promote comfortable handling. The soft grip handle helps absorb shock and provides better control, minimizing the risk of slippage during operation.

Lastly, the HR5000K model includes a depth gauge and a sturdy carrying case, making it an excellent choice for professionals who require precision and portability. The included accessories enhance the value of the tool, facilitating a smoother workflow.

In summary, the Makita HR500 and HR5000K rotary hammers offer exceptional power, innovative technology, and user-friendly features geared towards professional users. They stand out as reliable choices for anyone needing durable tools for demanding drilling and chiseling tasks.
