Functional Description; Torque Limiter - Makita HR3540C Manual De Instrucciones

2. Be sure the bit is secured in place before
operation.
3. 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.
4. 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 lubrication. Without proper warm-
up, hammering operation is difficult.
5. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure
no one is below when using the tool in high
locations.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7. Keep hands away from moving parts.
8. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
9. Do not point the tool at any one in the area when
operating. The bit could fly out and injure
someone seriously.
10. Do not touch the bit, parts close to the bit, or
workpiece immediately after operation; they may
be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
11. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
12. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.

CAUTION:
• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a
long time, the motor will get overloaded, resulting in
tool malfunction.
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5

adjusting function may no longer work.
Selecting the action mode
Rotation with hammering (Fig. 4)
For drilling in concrete, masonry, etc., depress the lock
button and rotate the change lever so that the pointer
points to the symbol. Use a tungsten-carbide tipped
bit.
Rotation only (Fig. 5)
For drilling in wood or metal, materials, etc., depress the
lock button and rotate the change lever so that the pointer
points to the symbol. Use a twist drill bit or wood bit.
Hammering only (Fig. 6)
For chipping, scaling or demolition operations, depress
the lock button and rotate the change lever so that the
pointer points to the symbol. Use a bull point, cold
chisel, scaling chisel, etc.
CAUTION:
• Do not rotate the change lever when the tool is running
under load. The tool will be damaged.
• To avoid rapid wear on the mode change mechanism,
be sure that the change lever is always positively
located in one of the three action mode positions.

Torque limiter

The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque level
is reached. The motor will disengage from the output
shaft. When this happens, the bit will stop turning.
CAUTION:
• As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off the
tool immediately. This will help prevent premature wear
of the tool.
