This document provides the instruction manual for the Makita M8600 Demolition Hammer, a double-insulated power tool designed for chiselling work in concrete, brick, stone, and asphalt, as well as for driving and compacting with appropriate accessories. It emphasizes safety warnings, functional descriptions, and maintenance procedures to ensure safe and effective operation.
The Makita M8600 Demolition Hammer is a robust tool intended for heavy-duty chiselling and demolition tasks. Its primary function is to deliver powerful blows to break down tough materials like concrete and stone. The tool is designed for continuous operation, offering ease of use for extended periods.
The operation of the demolition hammer is controlled by a switch trigger. To start the tool, the user simply pulls the switch trigger. Releasing the switch trigger stops the tool. For continuous operation, the switch trigger can be pulled and then locked into the "ON" position using the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, the switch trigger must be pulled fully and then released. This switch action allows for sustained work without constant pressure on the trigger, enhancing operator comfort during prolonged use.
The tool's design incorporates a side grip, also referred to as an auxiliary handle, which can be adjusted to various positions. This feature allows for easy handling of the tool in different orientations and working conditions, providing better control and reducing operator fatigue. The side grip can be loosened by turning it counterclockwise, swung to the desired position, and then tightened by turning clockwise to secure it.
The demolition hammer utilizes a bit for its chiselling and demolition functions. The bit is installed into a tool holder. Before installation, it is recommended to coat the bit shank head with a small amount of bit grease to ensure smooth action and prolong service life. To install the bit, the change ring on the tool holder is pulled down, and the bit is inserted as far as it will go. Releasing the change ring automatically secures the bit in its original position. Users are advised to always verify that the bit is securely held by attempting to pull it out. To remove the bit, the change ring is pulled down all the way, and the bit is pulled out.
When performing chiselling, scaling, or demolition, the tool should be held firmly with both hands. It is important to apply slight pressure to the tool to prevent it from bouncing uncontrollably. Pressing too hard will not increase efficiency and may lead to loss of control. The tool is designed to produce vibration during normal operation, and users should be aware that screws may come loose over time, necessitating regular checks for tightness to prevent breakdowns or accidents.
The M8600 Demolition Hammer is designed with several features to enhance user safety and operational efficiency.
Proper maintenance is crucial for ensuring the safety, reliability, and longevity of the Makita M8600 Demolition Hammer.
By adhering to these maintenance guidelines, users can significantly extend the lifespan of their Makita M8600 Demolition Hammer and ensure its continued safe and efficient operation.
