Rotary Hammer Makita HR5202C

The Makita HR5202C rotary hammer is a heavy-duty power tool designed for demanding drilling and chiselling tasks in concrete and masonry. Equipped with a 1510 W motor and an SDS Max chuck, it delivers robust performance and is engineered for prolonged professional use. The tool offers a maximum drilling diameter of 52 mm in concrete, an idle speed of 310 RPM and an impact energy of 20 J, balancing high energy per blow with controlled rotation for efficient material removal. The unit weighs 10.9 kg and comes with a 5 m power cord to support work in a range of jobsite conditions.

Advantages

The rotary hammer combines a powerful 1510 W motor and a 20 J impact energy rating to provide consistent penetration and fast progress when drilling or chiselling concrete. The SDS Max chuck ensures secure bit retention and rapid bit changes, while the 310 RPM idle speed supports controlled drilling and effective hammer action. Its 10.9 kg weight contributes to stability during heavy applications without compromising handling, and the 5 m cord gives sufficient reach for most indoor and outdoor sites. The tool’s durable construction and professional-grade components are intended to withstand continuous operation under demanding conditions.

Suitable for

• Drilling large-diameter holes in concrete and reinforced concrete
• Chiselling and demolition work on masonry and concrete surfaces
• Anchoring and installing heavy fixtures in construction projects
• Preparatory surface removal before structural repairs

How to use

Before use, verify the working area is clear of hidden utilities and wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye, hearing and respiratory protection. Fit the correct SDS Max bit for the required task and ensure it locks securely in the chuck. Start the tool at no-load to confirm rotation direction and proper function. For drilling, position the bit perpendicular to the surface, apply steady, even pressure and allow the hammer action to do the cutting; avoid forcing the tool. For chiselling, select the appropriate chisel bit and use controlled short strokes for material removal. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear debris and prevent overheating. After finishing, disconnect the power before changing bits, cleaning, or transporting the tool.

Usage recommendations

Use the Makita HR5202C with SDS Max bits sized for the intended hole or chisel width and match the working mode to the task (drilling or chiselling). In reinforced concrete, advance slowly and clear drill cuttings frequently. For prolonged operation, allow intermittent pauses to avoid overheating and inspect brushes and ventilation paths according to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.
