To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
OPERATION
Chipping/Scaling/Demolition
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on and
apply slight pressure on the tool so that the tool will not
bounce around, uncontrolled. Pressing very hard on the
tool will not increase the efficiency.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.
Replacing carbon brushes
When the resin insulating tip inside the carbon brush is
exposed to contact the commutator, it will automatically
shut off the motor. When this occurs, both carbon
brushes should be replaced. Keep the carbon brushes
clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes
should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical
carbon brushes.
Use a hex wrench to remove the rear cover.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps.
Lubrication
This tool requires no hourly or daily lubrication because it
has a grease-packed lubrication system. It should be
relubricated after every 6 months of operation. Send the
complete tool to Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Center for this lubrication service. However, if circum-
stances require that you should lubricate it by yourself,
proceed as follows.
Run the tool for several minutes to warm it up. Switch off
and unplug the tool.
Remove the crank cap using a Makita lock nut wrench 35
(optional accessory). Rest the tool on the table with the
bit end pointing upwards. This will allow the old grease to
collect inside the crank housing.
Wipe out the old grease inside and replace with a fresh
grease (30 g; 1 oz). Use only Makita genuine hammer
grease (optional accessory). Filling with more than the
specified amount of grease (approx. 30 g; 1 oz) can
cause faulty hammering action or tool failure. Fill only
with the specified amount of grease.
