GENERAL SAFETY RULES
(For All Tools)
USA002-2
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
1.
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
4.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
5.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
6.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
8.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”
or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
9.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
12. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.
Tool Use and Care
15. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
16. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-
viced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
22. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
23. Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
3
24. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
USB009-2
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to hammer safety rules.
If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1.
Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2.
Wear ear protectors when using the tool
for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.
3.
Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses and/or face shield. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses. It is also highly recommended that you wear a dust mask and thickly padded gloves.
4.
Be sure the bit is secured in place before operation.
5.
Under normal operation, the tool is designed to produce vibration. The screws can come loose easily, causing a breakdown or accident. Check tightness of screws carefully before operation.
6.
In cold weather or when the tool has not been used for a long time, let the tool warm up for a while by operating it under no load. This will loosen up the lubrica-
tion. Without proper warm-up, hammering operation is difficult.
7.
Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.
8.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
9.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
10. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
11. Do not point the tool at any one in the area when operating. The bit could fly out and injure someone seriously.
12. Do not touch the bit or parts close to the bit immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
13. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

002972 Lubrication
This tool requires no hourly or daily lubrication because it has a grease-packed lubrication system. It should be relubricated after every 6 months of operation. Send the complete tool to Makita Authorized or Factory Service Center for this lubrication service. However, if circumstances require that you should lubricate it by yourself, proceed as follows.
First, switch off and unplug the tool.
002973
Remove the plate 50 using a screwdriver, then replenish with fresh grease (60 g; 2 oz). Use only Makita genuine hammer grease (optional accessory). Filling with more than the specified amount of grease (approx. 60 g; 2 oz) can cause faulty hammering action or tool failure. Fill only with the specified amount of grease.
Reinstall the plate 50 and secure with the screws.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by
Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using
Makita replacement parts.

WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
