Functional Description - Makita HR2432 Manual De Instrucciones

6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
9. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
10. Keep hands away from moving parts.
11. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
12. Do not point the tool at any one in the area when
operating. The bit could fly out and injure some-
one seriously.
13. Do not touch the bit or parts close to the bit
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
14. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Switch action (Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed
is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop. For continuous opera-
tion, pull the switch trigger and then push in the lock but-
ton. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the
switch trigger fully, then release it.

Reversing switch action (Fig. 2)
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to the
tion (A side) for clockwise rotation or the
side) for counterclockwise rotation.
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage the tool.
• When you operate the tool in counterclockwise rotation,
the switch trigger is pulled only halfway and the tool
runs at half speed. For counterclockwise rotation, you
cannot push in the lock button.
Selecting the action mode
Rotation with hammering (Fig. 3)
For drilling in concrete, masonry, etc., depress the lock
button and rotate the action mode changing knob to the
symbol. Use a tungsten-carbide tipped bit.
Rotation only (Fig. 4)
For drilling in wood, metal or plastic materials, depress
the lock button and rotate the action mode changing
knob to the symbol. Use a twist drill bit or wood bit.
Hammering only (Fig. 5)
For chipping, scaling or demolition operations, depress
the lock button and rotate the action mode changing
knob to the symbol. Use a bull point, cold chisel, scal-
ing chisel, etc.
CAUTION:
• Do not rotate the action mode changing knob 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 action mode changing knob is always
positively located in one of the three action mode posi-
tions.
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.
• Hole saws cannot be used with this tool. They tend to
pinch or catch easily in the hole. This will cause the
torque limiter to actuate too frequently.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Side grip (auxiliary handle) (Fig. 6)
CAUTION:
• Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety.
Install the side grip so that the teeth on the grip fit in
between the protrusions on the tool barrel. Then tighten
the grip by turning clockwise at the desired position. It
may be swung 360° so as to be secured at any position.
