Comfort and safety – AVT and battery protection

Makita has implemented advanced technologies in this model to enhance comfort and durability:

AVT – Anti‑Vibration Technology

The AVT system reduces vibrations during drilling and chiseling, resulting in less fatigue for hands and arms and greater work precision.

Battery protection

The protective circuit safeguards the batteries against overload, overheating, and excessive discharge, extending their lifespan and ensuring stable operation even under heavy loads.

Precision and user comfort

The rotary hammer is equipped with an LED light illuminating the work area, making it easier to work in dark places. The electric brake provides full control over the tool, and the ergonomic design ensures a secure grip and stability during drilling.
