NOTE:

• The depth gauge cannot be used at the position where

the depth gauge strikes against the gear housing.

Dust cup (Fig. 17)

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

and on yourself when performing overhead drilling

operations. Attach the dust cup to the bit as shown in the

figure. The size of bits which the dust cup can be attached

to is as follows.

OPERATION

Hammer drilling operation (Fig. 18)

Set the action mode changing knob to the symbol.

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.

CAUTION:

• 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.

NOTE:

Eccentricity in the bit rotation may occur while operating

the tool with no load. The tool automatically centers itself

during operation. This does not affect the drilling

precision.

Blow-out bulb (optional accessory)

(Fig. 19)

After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the

dust out of the hole.

Chipping/Scaling/Demolition (Fig. 20)

Set the action mode changing knob 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 in wood or metal (Fig. 21 & 22)

For Model BHR261 only

Use the optional drill chuck assembly. When installing it,

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

previous page.

Set the action mode changing knob so that the pointer

points to the symbol.

For Model BHR261T only (Fig. 23, 24 & 25)

Use the quick change drill chuck as standard equipment.

When installing it, refer to “changing the quick change

chuck for SDS-plus” described on the previous page.

Hold the ring and turn the sleeve counterclockwise to

open the chuck jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as it

will go. Hold the ring firmly and turn the sleeve clockwise

to tighten the chuck. To remove the bit, hold the ring and

turn the sleeve counterclockwise.

Set the action mode changing knob to the symbol.

You can drill up to 13 mm diameter in metal and up to

32 mm diameter in wood.

CAUTION:

• Never use “rotation with hammering” when the drill

chuck assembly is installed on the tool. The drill chuck

assembly may be damaged. Also, the drill chuck will

come off when reversing the tool.

• 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

performance and shorten the service life of the tool.

• There is a tremendous twisting force exerted on the

tool/bit at the time of hole breakthrough. Hold the tool

firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break

through the workpiece.

• A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the

reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back

out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do

not hold it firmly.

• Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar

hold-down device.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before attempting to

perform inspection or maintenance.

Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 26)

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace

when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon

brushes clean 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. (Fig. 27)

Remount the holder cap covers on the tool.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,

any other maintenance or adjustment should be

performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always

using Makita replacement parts.
