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 hex wrench, then replen-
ish with fresh grease (60 g; 2 oz). Use only Makita genu-
ine hammer grease (optional accessory). Filling with
more than the specified amount of grease (approx. 60 g;
2 oz) can cause faulty hammering action or tool failure.
Fill only with the specified amount of grease.

any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers,
always using Makita replacement parts.
