Makita XPP01, Instruction Manual

14 ENGLISH

Addling  oil

This tool is electro-hydraulic. When shipped from the 

factory, it was filled with the oil. Do not attempt to add oil 

as long as the tool performs well. When the oil-pressure 

is not enough for proper operation, add oil in the follow-

ing procedures.

NOTICE:

Make sure that the work area and all 

equipment is clean so that no dirt, dust or other 

foreign materials can get into the hydraulic oil or 

pump area.

NOTICE:

Only use pure hydraulic oil recom-

mended by Makita.

 To prevent damage to the seals 

and other internal machine parts, do not use other oil 

listed below.
Recommended oil:

• 

Makita hydraulic oil

• 

Super Hyrando #46 (JXTG Nippon Oil & Energy 

Corp.)

• 

Shell Tellus Plus #46 (U.S. Shell)

• 

Hydraulic oil with equivalent spec anti-wear, ISO 

Viscosity Grade 46.

1.

  Install the battery cartridge to the tool.

2.

  Lay the tool on its left side so that the oil port is 

facing up.

3.

Operate the tool to move the punch position 

almost to the bottom of its stroke.

NOTE:

 If necessary, run the tool for several strokes. 

Doing so allows you to determine the bottom of stroke 

and also position the punch piston correctly. In the 

correct position, the maximum amount of oil has been 

drawn from the pump and the appropriate amount of 

oil for refill can be obtained.

4.

  Remove the battery cartridge from the tool.

5.

  Carefully remove the socket head cap screw to 

open the oil port.

6.

  Fill the reservoir with hydraulic oil using the small 

squeeze bottle which is supplied with the tool.

7.

  Rock the tool back and forth slightly several times 

to free any trapped air bubbles. After that, add addi

-

tional oil as necessary.

8.

Replace the socket head cap screw and wipe up 

any excess oil.

9.

  Install the battery cartridge and run the tool for 

several strokes with the return lever is in open position. 

After that, run the tool again with the return lever is in 

closed position.

Doing this purges trapped air out of the system. Repeat 

this procedure to make sure that the punch piston is 

almost at the bottom of its stroke.

10.

  Add additional oil as necessary by repeating step 

3 to 9.

If the oil is depleted excessively, you need to repeat this 

procedure several times.

Replacing carbon brushes

Replace the carbon brushes when they wear down to 

the limit mark.

NOTICE:

Keep the carbon brushes clean and 

free to slip in the holders.

NOTICE:

Both carbon brushes must be replaced 

at the same time.

NOTICE:

Use only identical carbon brushes.
