## Long description

Makita M8701B is a corded rotary hammer engineered for drilling and light chiselling in masonry and concrete. Powered by an 800 W AC motor, it delivers up to 1200 RPM and a maximum impact energy of 2.3 J, offering a balance of power and control for construction, renovation and general-purpose drilling tasks. The tool accepts standard SDS-plus bits and supports a maximum concrete drilling diameter of 26 mm while maintaining a compact feel at approximately 2.7 kg with a 2 m power cord.
Advantages
The rotary hammer combines steady AC power and a compact lightweight design to reduce operator fatigue during extended use. Its 2.3 J impact energy provides effective hammering action for efficient hole-making in concrete and masonry without excessive recoil. The rated speed up to 1200 RPM ensures stable drilling performance across common masonry drill sizes, while the corded power source gives continuous operation for workshop and site tasks.
Suitable for
Drilling holes in concrete and brick up to Ø26 mm
Light chiselling and removal of plaster or tiles
Installation of anchors, dowels and fasteners in masonry
Routine renovation and construction tasks requiring reliable corded power

How to use
Select an appropriate SDS-plus drill bit or chisel for the material and task, secure it in the chuck according to the tool instructions, and connect the rotary hammer to a grounded AC power outlet. Set the unit to hammer drilling mode for concrete or to rotation-only mode where available for plain drilling. Start drilling at low speed to position the bit, then apply steady pressure and allow the tool’s hammer action to perform the cutting. For chiselling, use short controlled strokes and a stable stance. Always switch off and disconnect power before changing accessories or performing maintenance.
Usage recommendations
Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling or chiselling. For extended drilling in reinforced concrete or larger diameters, use incremental drilling and allow the tool to cool periodically. Secure workpieces and clear debris frequently to maintain bit effectiveness and reduce wear.
