The Makita HM0871C 12-pound demolition hammer is a powerhouse tool designed for tough jobs. Included in the package are: a tube of hammer bit grease (194683 - 7), a cloth for wiping oil (443122 - 7), and a sturdy tool case.
Key Features:
- A robust 10-AMP motor generates 8.6 ft-lbs of impact energy, perfect for the most demanding applications.
- Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT®), an internal counterbalance system, significantly cuts down on vibration. An extra vibration-absorbing rear handle, spring-loaded, further reduces shaking for a more comfortable grip.
- Constant speed control automatically adds power to the motor under load, ensuring you can finish even the most challenging tasks. The soft start feature suppresses start - up reaction for better accuracy.
- The variable speed control dial allows you to adjust the speed according to the job, adding more versatility. The 'soft no - load' function reduces motor speed when not in use, extending the tool's life and performance.
- L.E.D. power and service lights are there to help you. The power light indicates switch failure or cord damage, while the service light alerts you about 8 hours before brush replacement is needed. Automatic brush cut - off protects the commutator for a longer - lasting tool.
- An easy - to - operate lock - on power mode is great for continuous use. With 12 bit angle settings, you can set the bit at different positions for easy operation. The side handle swivels 360° for better maneuverability.
- A rubberized ergonomic soft grip offers more comfort during use. It also has dust extraction capability when paired with the optional Makita Dust Attachment Kit.
- The Makita Motor Advantage, featuring field core interlocking steel laminations, a dual ball bearing armature, and more copper commutator bars, boosts energy transfer efficiency, delivering more power and a longer tool lifespan.

This demolition hammer offers a compact solution for overhead work, weighing only 12.3 lbs while still packing an 8.6 ft - lb punch of impact energy from its 10 - AMP motor. The AVT® technology not only reduces vibration but also increases power efficiency, so you get a tool that's both comfortable to use and highly effective.
Using your Makita HM0871C demolition hammer is straightforward. First, make sure you've got the right SDS - MAX bit for the job and insert it securely. If you're using it for an extended period, the lock - on power mode can be very handy. Just press and hold the button to activate it. Adjust the speed using the variable speed control dial according to the task at hand - slower for more delicate work and faster for heavy - duty jobs.
When it comes to safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like goggles, gloves, and ear protection due to the high noise level. Keep an eye on the L.E.D. lights. If the power light is on, it might mean there's a switch failure or cord damage, so stop using the tool right away. The service light will let you know when it's almost time to replace the brushes.
For maintenance, use the included hammer bit grease regularly to keep the bit working smoothly. Wipe the tool with the provided cloth for oil to prevent dust buildup. If you're in a dusty environment, consider using the optional Makita Dust Attachment Kit. After each use, store the tool in the provided case in a dry place. And remember, the 'soft no - load' function is there to help increase the tool's life, so don't leave the motor running when you're not using it.
