Product Information
Full details
The Makita DHR263PT2 is a powerful 36V cordless combination hammer drill designed for professionals needing efficient drilling and hammering in concrete, masonry, and other materials. Its key benefit is the combination of high power from dual 18V batteries with the maneuverability of a cordless tool, offering SDS-plus bit compatibility and multiple operation modes. A potential caveat is that mixing batteries of different capacities will result in the tool stopping when the lower capacity battery is depleted.

FAQs
What is the maximum drilling capacity in concrete?
The Makita DHR263PT2 has a maximum drilling capacity of 26mm in concrete.
Can I use batteries of different amp-hour ratings together?
You can use batteries of different amp-hour (Ah) ratings, but the tool will stop operating when the battery with the lower capacity is depleted. For consistent performance, it is recommended to use two batteries of the same capacity.
What type of bits does this hammer drill use?
This hammer drill uses SDS-plus bits.
How do I switch between the different operating modes?
Use the mode change lever located above the chuck to switch between 'Rotation + Hammering', 'Hammering only', and 'Rotation only' modes. Ensure the tool is stopped before changing modes.
Is this tool suitable for light demolition?
Yes, the 'Hammering only' mode makes it suitable for light demolition tasks such as removing tiles or plaster.
What is the purpose of the 40 different bit-angle settings?
The 40 settings allow you to orient the chisel bit at various angles, which is useful for specific chiseling tasks to optimize efficiency and comfort.
Does this model come with batteries and a charger?
Yes, this package (DHR263PT2) typically includes 2 x 5.0Ah batteries, a dual charger, and a MakPac case.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not power on
Ensure both batteries are correctly inserted and charged. Check that batteries are of the same voltage and capacity. Verify that the mode selector is not stuck between settings.
Reduced hammering or drilling power
Check the battery charge level. Ensure the SDS-plus bit is correctly seated and not damaged. Clean any debris from the chuck and bit. If mixing batteries of different capacities, the tool will stop when the lower capacity battery is depleted.
Chuck not engaging or releasing bit properly
Ensure the bit is SDS-plus compatible and clean. Remove any debris from the chuck mechanism. Operate the slide chuck fully to engage or disengage the bit.
LED light not functioning
Check battery connection. The LED light is often linked to battery power; ensure batteries are charged. If the issue persists, contact service.
