Easy to operate operation-mode change lever, located on the top of the motor housing for reduced possibility of breakage

This rugged 2-mode machine – rotary drilling with hammer action and hammer action-only for chiselling - has the easy-to-operate mode change switch positioned conveniently on top of the motor body ahead of the vibration reducing rear grip handle. With variable speed controlled by the grip trigger, and a constant speed control that can be set for constant running when chiselling, the HR4013C can also be used with the trigger controlling chiselling for intermittent work. Since it is capable of variable speed, you can switch between 1,450 and 2,900 BPM modes (with a no-load speed of 250 to 500 RPM). As with most powerhouse rotary hammers, it is corded and comes with a 15-foot-long line. Quality Soft no-load" function automatically reduces the speed of the motor when idling to help increase tool life and performance Vibration absorbing housing features a spring loaded main handle and upper housing that move independently of the motor and drive mechanism efffectively isolating most of the vibration away from the user The latest application of Makita’s patented AVT, anti - vibration technology, features the latest version of the body design that completely insulates the grip handles from the motor and transmission section of the machine. The dynamic vibration absorber has also been improved and the larger damper spring cuts the reaction force when the drill bit hits the substrate.

Technical specifications

If you want an even bigger drilling capacity, the Bosch RH745 might be worth considering. It offers variable speed and is equipped with dust protection features. The soft no load function automatically reduces the motor speed during idling to suppress the vibration of the machine body.
