Demolition Hammer Makita HM1317C

The Demolition Hammer Makita HM1317C is a corded heavy-duty tool designed for demanding demolition and chiseling tasks. It is powered by a 1510 W motor that delivers up to 25 J of impact energy at a rate of 1450 blows per minute. The tool features a 30 mm toolholder, measures 715 mm × 129 mm × 266 mm and weighs 17 kg. Built with anti-vibration technology and motor-speed suppression during no-load, the HM1317C reduces tool-body vibration for improved operator comfort during extended use.

Advantages

The HM1317C combines high impact energy with a robust design to provide reliable demolition performance and long service life. Anti-vibration technology and motor-speed suppression lower vibration levels, while features such as soft start, variable speed control and constant speed under load ensure controlled operation across different materials. Double insulation improves electrical safety and an LED indicator notifies when the carbon brushes need replacement. The tool is supplied with a carry case for easier transport and storage.

Suitable for

• Concrete and reinforced concrete demolition
• Chiseling and removal of tiles or masonry
• Breaking foundations, walls and floors

How to use

Before use, verify that the power supply and extension leads are suitable for the tool's rated power. Fit the correct 30 mm bit securely into the toolholder and check that the bit retention system is locked. Select the appropriate speed using the variable speed control and start the tool with the soft-start function engaged. Apply steady pressure and allow the hammer to perform the work; avoid forcing the tool to maintain constant speed under load. Observe the LED brush indicator and replace carbon brushes when indicated. After work, disconnect from the power source, clean dust from ventilation ports and store the tool in the supplied carry case.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye, ear and respiratory protection and sturdy gloves. For prolonged work, alternate tasks or take regular breaks to minimise operator fatigue. Match bit type and size to the material and task, and ensure secure footing and a clear work area to prevent accidents.
