Bit angle
1
The bit can be secured at 12 different angles. To change
the bit angle, slide the change ring forward, then turn the
change ring to change the bit angle. At the desired angle,
slide the change ring back to the original position. The bit
will be secured in place.
NOTE:
• The change ring cannot turn when the bit is not
installed on the tool.

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.

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.

Replacing carbon brushes
1
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.
Remove the screws which secure the rear cover. Pry up
the rear cover with a screwdriver and remove it.
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
CAUTION:
• This servicing should be performed by Makita
Authorized or Factory Service Centers only.
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.
Run the tool for several minutes to warm it up. Switch off
and unplug the tool.
