Where to add grease on makita kango - Makita Hammering

kango 950 was the hammer drill version. Usually when they stopped hammering they were due for a rebuild. These units have a aluminum piston that rides in a steel tube striker. When the 2 rubber piston rings wear out you will get the described problem. The Kango's use a special tan grease so you cannot just yank it apart and replace the 2 rings with o-rings and grease. I had to rebuild 15 900 and 950's because the previous mechanic used the wrong grease. https://project21designs.com/kango-950-parts
The link sells grease & rings.

Look for sloppy contacts on the battery

Hi Vicki
Is it the old all silver one or the new one with the red motor housing?

If this was a new unit, it comes with the proper amount already in the gearcase. You might need some for the hammer bits (a small amount of lithium grease) but other than that until the tool needs repaired you should not have to add any.

What kango hammer do you have? I am most familiar with the UK kango 900 and 950, pre-milwaukee.

Milwaukee K900K or the English Kango 900K Blue old or Red some younger handle it differs very much English Kango was using a thick brown grease in 2 chrome colored plastic bags . the Milwaukee K900K has a lubrication grease also not oil but be aware of the operating hours i f you have a K900K model from Brand Milwaukee tools replace also a service kit and the bearings on the armature is important also Its neccesary to protect you from damage
if you have a English Kango its hard and expensive to get a spare parts and most times the tools are worn in the front of the chisel stroke bolds do not get right close and the piston pins are worn it was a good tool about 20 years ago i have serviced much of them . but the first thing thats important that its air-tight in front of the chisel and everywhere thats having a mechanic/pneumatic duty



Milwaukee Services and fill k900k with (IMPORTANT) the right number

what country are you in? in australia atlas copco are the distrbutors. i`m sure you can find out on the internet

it sounds like it needs service,service is taking lower unit apart cleaning and regrease with special kango grease, if unit was serviced recently or not used much, grease could be real old and dry,sometimes you have to warm up unit before they start hitting correctly,,also if used a lot could be dirt build up,inside bit holder.remove bit holder clean out dirt regrease with heavy bearing grease,just grease the lower part,not very much grease is needed
