WARNING:
For your personal safety, READ and UNDERSTAND before using.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
22. Use only accessories that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
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.
SERVICE
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.
23. Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance 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 num-
ber, 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 seri-
ous 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.
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.
2. Wear ear protectors when using the tool
for extended periods. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise can cause hearing
loss.
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-
3. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety
glasses and/or face shield. Ordinary eye
or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses. It

tion. Without proper warm-up, hammering
operation is difficult.
11. Do not point the tool at any one in the area
when operating. The bit could fly out and
injure someone seriously.
7. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the
tool in high locations.
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.
8. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
9. Keep hands away from moving parts.
13. Some material contains chemicals which
may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow mate-
rial supplier safety data.
10. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the
tool only when hand-held.

The green power-ON indicator lamp lights up when the tool is
plugged. The indicator lamp is lit but the tool does not start
even if the tool is switched on, the carbon brushes may be
worn out, or the electric circuit or the motor may be defective.
If the indicator lamp does not light up and the tool does not
start, the ON/OFF switch or the mains cord may be defective.
The red service indicator lamp lights up when the carbon
brushes are nearly worn out to indicate that the tool needs
servicing. After approx. 8 hours of use, the motor will auto-
matically be shut off.

exposed to contact the commutator, it will automatically shut
off the motor. When this occurs, both carbon brushes should
be replaced. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip
in the holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at
the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.

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.
MAKITA LIMITED ONE YEAR WARRANTY

Every Makita tool is thoroughly inspected and tested before leaving the factory. It is warranted to be free of
defects from workmanship and materials for the period of ONE YEAR from the date of original purchase.
Should any trouble develop during this one year period, return the COMPLETE tool, freight prepaid, to one of

IN NO EVENT SHALL MAKITA BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES FROM THE SALE OR USE OF THE PRODUCT. THIS DISCLAIMER APPLIES BOTH DURING
