Repair of the mechanical part of the Makita 2450 and 2470 puncher

Any repair of the tool begins with the determination of the nature of the malfunction and disassembly.

A Makita 2450 and 2470 rotary hammer can be repaired by a user with basic locksmithing skills and knowledge of electrical safety requirements.

This article discusses the mechanical part of the Makita puncher, the main malfunctions and how to solve them.Dismantling the mechanical part of the Makita 2470 rotary hammer

To get to the mechanical part of the punch, you need to remove or disassemble the cartridge.

Dismantling the quick release chuck
Place the hammer drill on the back of the cabinet on the surface of a table covered with a clean cloth or paper. Using tweezers or a screwdriver, remove the rubber tip 35, item 1.

Carefully loosen the annular spring, pos. 2, the clutch cover, pos. 3, the steel ring, pos. 4. You will reach a steel ball with a diameter of 7 mm, pos.20.

Now you can remove the case of the mechanical part
It is black.
Using a screwdriver, unscrew the four screws at the end of the case.Holding the black case with your right hand, press the end of the shaft from which the cartridge was disassembled with your thumb. The plastic case is easy to remove.

Next, remove the gearbox shaft.

To disconnect the mechanical part from the electric, you must first remove the electric brushes.
Remember! In the lower part of the body, the rotor is held by electric brushes, which must be removed.

After checking that the electric brushes are disconnected from the lamellas of the rotor, use a screwdriver to pry the metal case of the perforator at the border of the green plastic case.

Now we proceed to disconnect the rotor from the mechanical part of the punchpa The rotor is held in the mechanical part due to helical gears of the gearbox.
If you take the rotor case in one hand, and the mechanical part in the other case and pull it in different directions, swinging, you will separate these two nodes.

You get such a knot in the old grease.Next, unscrew the two M4 × 12 bolts, pos. 43, using the hexagon, item 2666273-7 with the internal hexagon head.
Pull out the shaft with the intermediate spur gear 10 pos. 80, art.226399-7.
from the inner case pos. 49, art. 153687-8. Clean parts from old grease.

You get such a mountain of clean details.Now carefully review the details, immediately discard the rubber rings, picking up new ones.
