The Makita’s hard-hitting breaker hammer is engineered for heavy chipping, demolition and breaking applications, but with less vibration for increased user comfort. This machine has a 14 AMP motor that delivers 730-1,450 BPM and 34.9 joules of impact energy. It features Makita's electronic controller so users will benefit from the soft start, as well as a variable speed control dial, an L.E.D. service light that notifies users before brushes need to be replaced, and constant speed control that automatically applies additional power to the motor to maintain speed under load for the most challenging jobs. For added convenience, the HM1317CB has a 16.4 ft. cord and accepts the popular 1-1/8” Hex bit type.
