The Makita HR2661 1-Inch AVT rotary hammer, paired with a HEPA dust extractor, is a comprehensive solution. It offers efficient drilling and chipping while reducing vibration and enhancing dust extraction. Featuring anti-vibration technology (AVT), an internal counterbalance system, it significantly cuts down on vibration. The built-in dust extractor, activated by the tool for your convenience, captures concrete dust during drilling. It comes with an efficient HEPA filtration system that traps 99.97% of particulates 0.3 microns and larger, and a transparent dust container with an accurate level indicator. This compact tool is perfect for various applications, such as overhead drilling into concrete, wood, and metal, and tile removal. It has an 8 AMP motor delivering 2.2 Joules (1.6 ft. lbs.) of impact energy, suitable for the most demanding tasks. With 3-mode operation - 'rotation only', 'hammering with rotation', or 'chipping only' - it's highly versatile. You can easily change modes using the recessed hammer-function selector under the gear housing for better durability. The ergonomic D-shaped handle with a rubberized soft grip offers great comfort, and there's a retractable tool hook to secure the tool when not in use. Included are a side handle, depth rod, and a tool case.
Using the Makita HR2661 is easy. First, make sure you've chosen the right bit for your job. The tool accepts SDS - PLUS bits. If you're drilling, select the appropriate mode from the 3 - mode operation: 'rotation only' for simple drilling, 'hammering with rotation' for tougher materials like concrete, or 'chipping only' for removing tile. You can adjust the speed using the variable - speed trigger to match the task. When drilling, use the depth stop adjustment to control the depth of your hole. For dust extraction, the dust extractor will automatically activate when you start the tool. Keep an eye on the dust container's level indicator, and when it's full, empty it. To maintain the tool, clean it regularly after use. Check the HEPA filter periodically and replace it when necessary. Also, make sure to store the tool in a dry place using the provided tool case. When using the retractable hook, ensure it's securely attached to studs, ladders, or rails. And always follow safety procedures, like wearing safety goggles and gloves.
