General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

1.Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2.Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3.Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

4.Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

5.Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

6.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

7.Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

8.When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

9.If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an

GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

10.Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

11.Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions

Makita BHP453, BHP343 instruction manual Specifications, English Original instructions

BHP343, BHP453 specifications

The Makita BHP453 is a versatile and powerful cordless hammer drill that has become a favorite among both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts. This tool is designed to deliver exceptional performance in a wide variety of applications, making it a reliable choice for tasks ranging from drilling holes to driving screws.

At the heart of the BHP453 is a robust 18-volt lithium-ion battery, which provides ample power for demanding jobs. The lithium-ion technology not only ensures longer run times but also reduces the memory effect, allowing users to recharge the battery at any time without worrying about diminishing performance. This is particularly beneficial for professionals who require efficient and uninterrupted operation on the job site.

One of the standout features of the Makita BHP453 is its 2-speed gear mechanism. This allows users to choose between a high-speed mode for drilling into wood and a lower-speed mode for more controlled drilling in tougher materials like masonry. The variable speed trigger offers further control, enabling precise results whether working on delicate projects or heavier tasks. Additionally, the drill can produce up to 1,700 revolutions per minute (RPM) and up to 22,000 beats per minute (BPM) for hammer drilling, providing impressive power.

The BHP453 is equipped with a 1/2-inch keyless chuck, which allows for quick and easy bit changes without the need for additional tools. This feature enhances productivity by minimizing downtime during bit swaps. Its compact design, weighing in at just around 4.0 pounds, ensures that the tool is comfortable to handle, even during prolonged use, reducing user fatigue.

Another significant technological advantage of the Makita BHP453 is its built-in LED work light. This light illuminates dark workspaces, providing visibility and enhancing safety while working in tight or poorly lit areas. The rubberized grip further enhances comfort, providing a secure hold that improves control and stability during operation.

The Makita BHP453 hammer drill is engineered with durability in mind. Its all-metal gear construction ensures a long service life and reliable performance under tough conditions. In summary, the Makita BHP453 is a powerful, user-friendly hammer drill that stands out for its battery technology, versatile drilling capabilities, and practical features, making it an excellent addition to any toolbox.
