MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the machine is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the machine.
Replacement of carbon brushes (Fig. 8 & 9)
Whenever carbon brushes must be replaced, they cut out
the machine automatically. When this occurs, loosen the
screws which secure the rear cover. Pry up the rear
cover with a screwdriver and remove it. Then replace
both carbon brushes at the same time. Use only identical
carbon brushes.
Lubrication (Fig. 10 & 11)
This machine requires no hourly or daily lubrication
because it has a grease-packed lubrication system.
Lubricate the machine every time the carbon brushes are
replaced.
Run the machine for several minutes to warm it up.
Switch off and unplug the machine. Remove the crank
cap using a socket wrench. Rest the machine 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). Use only Makita genuine grease (optional acces-
sory). Filling with more than the specified amount of
grease (approx. 30 g) can cause faulty hammering action
or machine failure. Fill only with the specified amount of
grease. Reinstall the crank cap and tighten with the
socket wrench. Do not tighten the crank cap excessively.
It is made of resin and is subject to breakage.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, mainte-
nance or adjustment should be carried out by Makita
Authorized Service Center.
