If the air-hammer is working fine at first but then starts to fail as you use it. I would look at the breaker unit, see if it is covered with frost. These units require a lot of air. A 1inch hose is usually used to connect it to the air supply. If you are not using an oiler, that could be the problem. Check that the hose is in good shape and is free from damage or kinks. Check the air gauge and see what the compressor is creating for air. The compressor should be building and maintaining 125 to 175 psi. I am guessing that you have this hammer hooked up to some type of worm drive system. Let me know if I can be anymore help.
Oops, no problem, well when you get an air breaker you will know what to look for. But I'm sorry but I'm not too familiar with the electric version. If you still have the owners manual then take a look, it may need only to be cleaned and oiled. Is it an older unit or newer one? Makita's web site or customer service dept. may be able to help you.
