Hi, first post here.
I have seen some rotary hammers that come with grease for the occasional maintenance.
Does the Makita HR2641 require maintenance (oiling, etc), apart from cleaning the outer surface after a job? Or is one just supposed to run it until it breaks down and toss it away?
I remember that when I first bough it, It was a pleasant surprise to me as a newbie home user was the rather sweet smell coming from, I assume, the grease inside the power tool. I can't say I've come across grease that smells like that, but I digress.
I have never found out what kind of grease they used, nor if one is supposed to maintain/grease/clean the insides. After all, there is always the risk of having concrete dust, etc. getting inside through the vents. That can't be good for the life of the tool.
Apologies if this is one of those "stupid questions everyone know about," except me 🙂
Refards,
Ed
