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 Service Center for
this lubrication service. However, if circumstances
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.
Loosen the four screws (two short screws on the upper
side and two long screws on the lower side. ) and remove
the handle.
Disconnect the terminal by pulling it. (Fig. 14)
Remove the crank cap by loosening the screws with a
screwdriver. Rest the tool on the table with the bit end
pointing upwards. This will allow the old grease to collect
inside the crank housing. (Fig. 15)
Wipe out the old grease inside and replace with a fresh
grease (30 g). Use only Makita genuine hammer grease
(optional accessory). Filling with more than the specified
amount of grease (approx. 30 g) can cause faulty ham-
mering action or tool failure. Fill only with the specified
amount of grease. (Fig. 16)
Reinstall the crank cap and secure with the screws.
Connect the terminal and reinstall the handle. (Fig. 17)
CAUTION:
• Do not tighten the crank cap excessively. It is made of
resin and is subject to breakage.
• Be careful not to damage the terminal or lead wires
especially when wiping out the old grease or installing
the handle. (Fig. 18)
• Whenever reinstalling the handle, use the two short
screws for the upper side and two long screws for the
lower side.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
