FAQs

What type of bits does the HM1214C use?

The HM1214C uses SDS Max bits.

How do I change the carbon brushes?

The LED indicator will alert you when the carbon brushes need replacing. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on how to replace them.

What is AVT?

AVT (Active dynamic Vibration absorber Technology) is a system that reduces vibration during chiselling, making the tool more comfortable to use.

Can I use this hammer for horizontal applications?

While the in-line design is best suited for downward vertical applications, it can be used for some horizontal tasks. However, it may not be as effective.

How often should I lubricate the bit?

Lubricate the bit shank with the provided grease before each use or as needed to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.

What should I do if the hammer overheats?

Stop using the hammer and allow it to cool down. Check for any blockages in the air vents and ensure the tool is not being overloaded.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the warranty information provided with your tool or contact Makita customer service for details.
