WARNING: WHEN USINGELECTRICTOOLS, BASICSAFETY
PRECAUTIONSSHOULDALWAYS BE FOLLOWEDTO REDUCE
THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, AND PERSONAL
INJURY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp
or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Don't expose power tools torain.
Don't use tool
in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
3. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
Don't let visitors contact tool or extension cord.
4. STORE IDLETOOLS. When not in use, tools should bestored in dry, andhigh
or locked-up place
- out of reach of children.
5. DON'T FORCETOOL. It will do thejob betterand safer at the ratefor which
it was intended.
6. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a
heavy-dutytool. Don't usetool for purpose not intended; for example, don't
use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
7. DRESS PROPERLY. Don't wear looseclothingorjewelry. They can becaught
in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering tocontain longhair.
8. USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty.
9. DON'T ABUSE CORD. Nevercarry tool bycordor yank it todisconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
IO. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using
your hand and
it frees both hands to operate tool.
11. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
12. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricatingand changing acces-
sories. Inspecttool cordsperiodicallyandifdamaged, have repairedbyautho-
rized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
13. DISCONNECTTOOLS. When notinuse, beforeservicing, and when chang-
ing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.

14. REMOVEADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to
seethatkeys andadjusting wrenchesare removedfromtool beforeturning
it on.
15. AVOID UNINTENTIONALSTARTING. Don’t carry tool withfinger onswitch.
Be sure switch is OFF when plugging
in.
16. EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop
inlinevoltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 showsthe
correctsize touse depending oncord lengthandnameplateampere rating.
If
in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.

17. OUTDOOR USEEXTENSIONCORDS. When toolisusedoutdoors, use only
extension cords intended for use outdoors and
so marked.
18. STAY ALERT. Watch what youaredoing, use common sense. Don’t operate
tool when you are tired.
19. CHECK DAMAGEDPARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that
it will
operate properly and performitsintendedfunction. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized
service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere
in this instruction
manual.Havedefective switches replacedbyauthorizedservicecenter.Don’t
use
tool if switchdoes not turn it on and off.
20. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact withgrounded
surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
21. REPLACEMENTPARTS. When servicing, useonly identical replacementparts.
22. POLARIZEDPLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipmenthas
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will
fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reversethe plug.
If it still does not fit, contact aqualifiedelectriciantoinstall
the proper outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.

VOLTAGE WARNING: Beforeconnectingthe tooltoa powersource (receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplateof the tool. A power source withvoltage greater than that specified
for the tool can result
in SERIOUS INJURYtothe user - as well as damage to
the tool.
If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG INTHE TOOL. Usinga power source with
voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
1. Wear ear protectors when using for extended periods.
2. Be sure the scaling chisel is secured in place before operation.
3. Under normaloperation, the toolisdesignedtoproducevibration. Thescrews
can come loose easily, causing a breakdown or accident. Check tightness
of screws carefully before operation.
4. In cold weather or when the tool has not been usedfor a longtime, let the
tool warm up for several minutes by operating
it under no load. This will
loosen upthe lubrication. Without proper warm-up hammeringoperation is
difficult.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool
in high locations.
5. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7. Keep hands away from moving parts.
8. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
9. Do not point the tool at any one in the area when operating. The scaling
chisel or bull point could fly out and injure someone seriously.
IO. When chippingintowahls, floors or wherever "live" electricalwires may be
encountered,
DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL!
Hold the
tool only by the plastic handle or the side grip to prevent electric
shock
if you chip into a "live" wire.
11. Do not touch the scaling chisel immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

the bit.
To install the bit, first attach the dust cover
provided to the bit as shown in the figure.
Then turn the
tool retainer in the direction
of the arrow and insert the bit into the tool
barrelas far as
it will go. Now turn the tool
retainer in the opposite direction to secure
the bit.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION :
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unpluggedbefore attempting to perform
inspectionor maintenance.
Lubrication
This tool requires no hourly or daily lubricationbecause
it has a grease-packedlubrica-
tion system. It should be relubricated after every
6 months of operation. Send the com-
plete tool to Makita Authorized or Factory Service Center for this lubricationservice.
However, if circumstances require that
you should lubricate it by yourself, proceed as
follows.
Run the tool for several minutes to warm
it up. Switchoff and unplugthe tool. Remove
the crank cap using
a Makita lock nut wrench 28 (optional accessory). Rest the tool on
the table with the bit end pointing upwards. This will allow the old grease to collect in-
side the crank housing. Wipe out the old grease inside and replace with
a fresh grease
(20 g; 2/3 oz). Use only Makita genuine grease (optional accessory). Fillingwith more
than the specified amount of grease (approx. 20g; 2/3
02) can cause faulty hammering
action or tool failure. Fill only with the specified amount of grease. Reinstall the crank
cap and tighten with the lock nut wrench.
Do nottighten the crank cap excessively. It is
madeof resinand is subject to breakage.

Replacingcarbon 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
at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
