Product Information

Full details

The Makita HR010G is a versatile 20mm SDS-PLUS combination hammer designed for professionals needing a compact yet powerful tool for drilling and hammering tasks. Its key benefit lies in its excellent maneuverability and efficient 40v Max XGT Li-Ion battery power, complemented by a brushless motor for enhanced performance and durability. A minor caveat is that it's supplied as a body-only unit, requiring separate purchase of batteries and a charger. Key features include three distinct operation modes (rotary, rotary hammer, hammer), an electric brake, LED work lights, and compatibility with the DX16 dust collection system.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum drilling capacity for concrete?

The maximum drilling capacity for concrete is 20mm. For wood, it is 26mm, and for steel, it is 13mm.

Does this tool come with batteries and a charger?

No, the Makita HR010G is supplied as a body-only unit. Batteries and a charger must be purchased separately.

What is the purpose of the three operation modes?

The three modes offer versatility: 'Rotary only' for drilling holes, 'Rotary plus hammer' for efficient drilling in masonry, and 'Hammer only' for chiseling or light demolition tasks.

Is this tool compatible with dust collection systems?

Yes, the HR010G is compatible with the Makita DX16 dust collection system, which is sold separately.

What is the impact energy of this hammer?

The tool delivers an impact energy of 2.1 joules.

How do I change drill bits quickly?

The HR010G features a one-touch sliding chuck, allowing for tool-less and rapid bit changes.

What does 'AWS ready' mean?

AWS ready means the tool is compatible with Makita's Auto-Start Wireless System. This requires purchasing a separate AWS chip (198900-7) and allows the tool to automatically start a compatible vacuum cleaner when the trigger is pulled.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not start.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Check if the mode selector is not stuck between settings. Verify the trigger lock is disengaged.

Reduced drilling or hammering power.

Check battery charge level. Ensure the bit is sharp and not excessively worn. Clean the chuck and bit insertion area. Check for any blockages in the tool's air vents.

Excessive vibration.

While the tool has Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT), excessive vibration beyond normal operation may indicate a damaged bit or internal issue. Inspect the bit for damage and ensure it's correctly seated. If the problem persists, contact customer support.

Mode selector is difficult to turn.

Ensure the tool is not under load when changing modes. Gently rotate the mode selector. If resistance persists, clean the area around the selector and lubricate sparingly if recommended by the manual (refer to official documentation).
