The Makita HM1512 45 lb. Demolition Hammer is a powerhouse tool designed for tough concrete jobs. It comes with a robust 15 AMP motor that packs a punch, delivering 35.7 ft.lb. of impact energy. This high impact energy allows it to handle even the most demanding concrete applications with ease. One of the standout features of this hammer is the Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT®). It combines an internal counterbalance system with vibration-absorbing handles to significantly reduce vibration. This not only makes your work more comfortable but also helps prevent fatigue during long hours of use. The in-line body design is a game-changer. It's perfect for working in tight, narrow spaces and provides better balance, making the hammer highly maneuverable. The Soft Start feature is another great addition. It suppresses the start-up reaction, giving you smoother starts and better accuracy in your work. The hammer also has dust extraction capability when paired with the optional dust extraction kit (sold separately), keeping your work area clean. The hex-style chuck can accept 1-1/18 in. steel bits, offering versatility. Included with the hammer are a 20-1/2' Bull Point with a 1-1/8' Hex (D-21353) and a tool case with wheels for easy storage and transportation. Other features include a Soft No-Load function that automatically reduces the motor speed when idle, increasing tool life. L.E.D. Power Lights indicate switch failure or cord damage, and the L.E.D. Service Light notifies you about 8 hours before the brushes need replacement. It also has extended life brushes, automatic brush cut-off for commutator protection, an easy-to-operate slide switch with lock-on, a 360° swiveling side handle, a rubberized ergonomic soft grip, the Makita Motor Advantage for more power and longer life, and a durable blow-molded rolling tool case.
Using the Makita HM1512 Demolition Hammer is a breeze. First, make sure you've got the right bit for the job. Insert it into the hex-style chuck and ensure it's securely in place. Plug the cord into a proper power source. When you're ready to start, simply use the easy-to-operate slide switch. The Soft Start feature will give you a smooth start. If you need to work for an extended period, the Anti-Vibration Technology will keep your hands comfortable and reduce fatigue. When using it in a dusty environment, consider getting the optional dust extraction kit to keep the air clean. Remember to turn off the tool when you're not using it. The Soft No-Load function will automatically reduce the motor speed when idle, which helps increase the tool's lifespan. Keep an eye on the L.E.D. Power Lights. If they indicate a problem, it could be a switch failure or cord damage. The L.E.D. Service Light will let you know about 8 hours before the brushes need to be replaced.

With proper use and maintenance, this demolition hammer will serve you well for a long time.
