NOTE:
No problem is caused even if the core bit unscrews
slightly during brief use since the core bit rotates in
the tightening direction.
To remove the core bit, follow the same removal
procedures covered in "When using the center bit".

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.

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
circumstances 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 Makita lock nut wrench
35 (optional accessory). Rest the tool on the table with
the bit end pointing upwards. This will allow the old
grease to collect inside the crank housing.
