OPERATION

Hammer drilling operation

Raise the side handle. The side handle can be secured in four position (right, left, up and down). To secure the side handle, tighten the clamp nut securely. Never secure the side handle in other than the above four positions.

The side grip is convenient for downward drilling or chipping operations. Screw the side grip on the tool securely. The side grip can be installed on either side of the tool for right or left hand operation.

Installing or removing the bit

003202

Set the change lever to thesymbol.

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 slipping 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 several times, the hole will be cleaned out and normal drilling may be resumed.

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.

Insert the bit into the tool holder as far as it will go. Pull out and turn the tool retainer 180 degrees. Then release it to secure the bit.

Makita HR5000K instruction manual Assembly, Operation

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.
