FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Switch action (Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
“OFF” position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release the
switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then
slide down the lock button.

trigger fully, then release it.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing the bit (Fig. 2)
With the notched portion on the shank of the bit facing
toward the tool retainer, insert the bit into the tool holder
as far as it will go. Then pull out and turn the tool retainer
180° to secure the bit. After installing, always make sure
that the bit is securely held in place by trying to pull it out.
Side handle (auxiliary handle) (Fig. 3)
The side handle swings around to either side, allowing
easy handling of the tool in any position.
OPERATION
Chipping/Scaling/Demolition (Fig. 4)
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.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
NOTE:
• Oil may leak if you store the tool with its head pointing
downward for a long period of time. When you store it,
lay it on its side.
Replacing carbon brushes
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.
(Fig. 5)
Use a hex-wrentch to remove the holder cap plates.
(Fig. 6)
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.
(Fig. 7)
Reinstall the holder cap plates firmly.
Oiling (Fig. 8 & Fig. 9)
To replenish, remove the oil gauge with the wrench 23.
Use only Makita genuine oil. The use of any other oil may
harm the tool.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
