ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL ENB028-1

1. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating

condition, because it does not have to be

plugged into an electrical outlet.

2. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when

performing an operation where the cutting tool

may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live”

wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool

“live” and shock the operator.

3. Wear ear protectors when using the tool for

extended periods. Prolonged exposure to high

intensity noise can cause hearing loss.

4. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses

and/or face shield. It is also highly recom-

mended that you wear a dust mask and thickly

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 sev-

eral minutes 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.

9. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in

14. Do not touch the bit or parts close to the bit

immediately after operation; they may be

extremely hot and could burn your skin.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)

• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of

the battery cartridge.

• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the

tool while sliding the button on the cartridge.

• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the

battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip

it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in

place with a little click. If you can see the red part on

the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.

Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it

may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to

you or someone around you.

• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If

the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being

1. Plug the battery charger into your power source. Two charging lights will flash in green color repeatedly.

2. Insert the battery cartridge into charger until it stops adjusting to the guide of charger. Terminal cover of charger

can be opened with inserting and closed with pulling out the battery cartridge.

3. When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will change from green to red and charging will

begin. The charging light will keep lighting up lit steadily during charging.

One red charging light indicates charged condition in 0 – 80% and two red ones indicates 80 –100%.

4. With finish of charge, the charging lights will change from two red ones to two green ones.

5. If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger after the charging cycle is complete, the charger will switch into its

“trickle charge (maintenance charge)” mode which will last approximately 24 hours.

6. After charging, unplug the charger from the power source.

Cooling system (DC24SA only)

• This charger is equipped with cooling fan for heated battery in order to enable the battery to prove its own perfor-

mance. Sound of cooling air comes out during cooling, which means no trouble on the charger.

• Yellow light will flash for warning in the following cases.

– Trouble on cooling fan

– Incomplete cool down of battery, such as, being clogged with dust

The battery can be charged in spite of the yellow warning light. But the charging time will be longer than usual in this

Check the sound of cooling fan, vent on the charger and battery, which can be sometime clogged with dust.

• The cooling system is in order although no sound of cooling fan comes out, if the yellow warning light will not flash.

• Always keep clean the vent on charger and battery for cooling.

• The products should be sent to repair or maintenance, if the yellow warning light will frequently flash.

Battery type Capacity (mAh) Number of cells

BH2433 (Ni-MH) 3300 20 Approx. 60 min. Approx. 90 min.7

Conditioning charge (DC24SA only)

Conditioning charge can extend the life of battery by automatically searching the optimum charging condition for the

batteries in every situation.

The battery employed in the following conditions repeatedly, will be worn out shortly, and yellow warning light may

1. Recharge of battery with its high temperature

2. Recharge of battery with its low temperature

3. Recharge of full charged battery

4. Over-discharge of battery (contunue to discharge battery in spite of down of power.)

5. Recharge under broken cooling system

The charging time of such battery is longer than usual.

Trickle charge (Maintenance charge)

If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger to prevent spontaneous discharging after full charge, the charger will

switch into its “trickle charge (maintenance charge)” mode and keep the battery cartridge fresh and fully charged.

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged.

Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at 10°C –40°C (50°F –104°F).

Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

4. Charge the Nickel Metal Hydride battery cartridge when you do not use it for more than six months.

• The battery charger is for charging Makita-battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other manufac-

• When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used for a long period of time, it

may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the bat-

tery cartridge fully after discharging it completely and recharging a couple of times.

• If you charge a battery cartridge from a just-operated tool or battery cartridge which has been left in a location

exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, the charging light may flash in red color. If this occurs, wait for a while.

Charging will begin after the battery cartridge is cooled by the cooling fan installed in the charger (DC24SA only).

When the temperature on battery is more than approx. 70°C, two charging lights may flash in red color, and when

approx. 50°C – 70°C, one charging light in red color.

• If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red color, charging is not possible. The terminals on the charger

or battery cartridge are clogged with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.

• Any of the following conditions indicates damage to the charger and/or battery cartridge. Ask your Makita Authorized

or Factory Service Center to check them.

1) The charging light does not flash (green) when the battery charger is plugged into a power source.

2) The charging light does not light up or flash (red) when the battery is inserted in the charger port.

3) Charging is not completed at even more than two hours after red light comes ON at start of charging.

Switch action (Fig. 3)

Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always

check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and

returns to the “OFF” position when released.

To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Tool speed is

increased by increasing pressure on the trigger. Release

the trigger to stop.

Reversing switch action (Fig. 4)

• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.

• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a

complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation

before the tool stops may damage the tool.

• When not operating the tool, always set the reversing

switch lever to the neutral position.

This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of

rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A

side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for counter-

clockwise rotation. When the switch lever is in the neutral

position, the switch trigger cannot be pulled.

Selecting action mode

chisel, scaling chisel, etc.

• Do not rotate the change lever when the tool is running.

The tool will be damaged.

• To avoid rapid wear on the mode change mechanism,

be sure that the change lever is always positively

located in one of the three action mode positions.8

Installing or removing bit

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-

tery cartridge is removed before installing or removing

Clean the bit shank and apply the bit grease provided to

it before installing the bit. (Fig. 8)

Insert the bit into the tool. Turn the bit and push it in until

If the bit cannot be pushed in, remove the bit. Pull the

chuck cover down a couple of times. Then insert the bit

again. Turn the bit and push it in until it engages.

After installing, always make sure that the bit is securely

held in place by trying to pull it out.

To remove the bit, pull the chuck cover down all the way

and pull the bit out. (Fig. 11)

Depth gauge (Fig. 12)

The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of uni-

form depth. Loosen the clamp screw and adjust the

depth gauge to the desired depth. After adjusting, tighten

the clamp screw firmly.

The depth gauge cannot be used at the position where

the depth gauge strikes against the gear housing/motor

Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety when

drilling in concrete, masonry, etc.

The side grip swings around to either side, allowing easy

handling of the tool in any position. Loosen the side grip

by turning it counterclockwise, swing it to the desired

position and then tighten it by turning clockwise.

(when chipping, scaling or demolishing)

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-

tery cartridge is removed before changing the bit angle.

To change the bit angle, depress the lock button and

rotate the change lever so that the pointer points to the

symbol. Turn the bit to the desired angle. (Fig.14)

Depress the lock button and rotate the change lever so

that the pointer points to the

Then make sure that the bit is securely held in place by

turning it slightly.

• Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it

locks in place. If you can see the red part on the upper

side of the button, it is not locked completely. Insert it

fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it may

accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or

• When operating overhead, always make sure the bat-

tery cartridge is locked securely so that it will not be

fallen out of the tool. If not, it may accidentally fall out of

the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.

Hammer drilling operation (Fig. 16)

Set the change lever to the H symbol. Position the bit at

the location for the hole, then pull the trigger. Do not force

the tool. Light pressure gives best results. Keep the tool

in position and prevent it from slipping away from the

Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes

clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at an

idle, then remove from the hole. By repeating this several

times, the hole will be cleaned out.

• When the bit begins to break through concrete or if the

bit strikes reinforcing rods embedded in concrete, the

tool may react dangerously. Maintain good balance and

safe footing while holding the tool firmly with both

hands to prevent dangerous reaction.

The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque level

is reached. The motor will disengage from the output

shaft. When this happens, the bit will stop turning.

As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off the tool

immediately. This will help prevent premature wear of the

Chipping/Scaling/Demolition (Fig. 17)

Set the change lever to the

symbol. Hold the tool

firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on and apply slight

pressure on the tool so that the tool will not bounce

around, uncontrolled. Pressing very hard on the tool will

not increase the efficiency.

Drilling operation (Fig. 18)

Use the optional drill chuck assembly. When installing it,

refer to “Installing or removing drill bit” described on the

previous page. You can drill up to 13 mm diameter in

metal and up to 27 mm diameter in wood.

Set the change lever so that the pointer points to the

tion is brass which should be drilled dry.

• Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the

drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve

to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool perfor-

mance and shorten the service life of the tool.

• Never use “rotation with hammering” when the drill

chuck assembly is installed on the tool. The drill chuck

assembly may be damaged.

Blow-out bulb (Fig. 19)

Use the blow-out bulb to clean out the hole.

Use the dust cup to prevent dust from falling over the tool

and on yourself when performing overhead drilling opera-

tions. Attach the dust cup to the bit. The size of bits which

the dust cup can be attached to is as follows.

Remove the foot when you use the battery cartridge

This will help to place the tool steady. (Fig. 21)

Install the foot when you use the battery cartridge B2430.

This will help to place the tool steady. (Fig. 22)

MAINTENANCE CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-

tery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on

Replacement of carbon brushes (Fig. 23 & 24)

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.

Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep

the carbon brushes clearn and free to slip in the holders.

Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same

time. Use only identical carbon brushes.

Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take

out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and

secure the brush holder caps.

To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, mainte-

nance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita
