Boorhamer Makita HR5212C 1510 W 260 RPM SDS Max

The Makita HR5212C rotary hammer combines a high-power motor with SDS‑Max compatibility to meet the demands of heavy-duty drilling and chiseling in concrete and masonry. With a 1510 W motor and a rotational speed of 260 RPM, this tool is designed to deliver sustained impact energy for fast material removal and reliable performance on construction sites and renovation projects. The ergonomic housing and handle arrangement support extended use while the SDS‑Max system enables quick, secure bit changes and improved bit retention under load.

Advantages

The tool offers a high-power 1510 W motor that provides consistent torque and impact energy for penetration into dense materials. SDS‑Max bit mounting ensures fast, tool-free bit changes and strong coupling for heavy workloads. Its durable construction and effective cooling support long operating periods, while the ergonomic grip and balanced weight distribution reduce user fatigue. Built-in features minimize vibration transfer and help maintain precise control during chiseling and drilling operations.

Suitable for

• Drilling large-diameter holes in concrete, reinforced concrete and masonry
• Chiseling, demolition and removal of tile, plaster and concrete layers
• Anchor and rebar installation on construction sites
• Heavy renovation and structural repair work

Key specifications

• Power: 1510 W motor for sustained heavy-duty performance
• Rotational speed: 260 RPM suitable for high-torque applications
• Bit system: SDS‑Max for secure, quick bit changes and high load capacity
• Primary functions: rotary drilling and chiseling modes for versatile use
• Construction: robust housing and cooling design for prolonged operation
• Ergonomics: shaped handle and balanced weight distribution to reduce fatigue

How to use

Select an SDS‑Max compatible bit appropriate for the task and secure it in the chuck according to the tool’s insertion method. Set the rotary or chiseling mode according to whether you need to drill or to chip material. Hold the tool with both hands using the main and auxiliary handles, align the bit with the work surface, and apply steady pressure while allowing the hammer action to work. For larger diameter drilling, start with smaller pilot holes and increase diameter progressively. Stop periodically to clear dust from the hole and to check bit condition and tool cooling.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection and dust mask when working with concrete and masonry. Ensure the workpiece is stable and check for hidden utilities before drilling. For extended operations, allow intermittent breaks to prevent overheating and maintain consistent performance. Use SDS‑Max bits rated for the material and task to maximize bit life and drilling efficiency.
