Switch for kango 950 S - 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.

Buy a new switch the old switch was modificated by an maintenance kit if you have an old blue or red real Kango from England. or black Atlas Copco .
But if you have the red Milwaukee Kango then there is only a new switch to replace.

Unfortunately, Kango is gone - there are very few parts available and most of the parts still around will only be found in Europe now. It really is too bad because they were a great hammer.

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

If these are the original Kango kangos then you are out of luck. They have been obsolete for many years now and no parts have been manufactured for a long time. The name was bought by DeWalt and they didn't do much with it. The Kango name is now ownd and used by Milwaukee, but there machines do differ alot from the originals. There were a few main models and the main mid sized breakers were the 900 (hammer only) and 950 (rotary hammer) There were a few facelift/variations of each (K, X and B I think) and they did use a couple of different sized seals/pistons/cylinders.
If it is one of the Milwaukee models you can look up diagrams here...

Here is a link. Contact these people. Kango was owned by Milwaukee but you can't get parts from the US anymore. I had to get a part from these folks in the UK.

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

The 900 is a hammer only, the 950 is a hammer drill. the newer ones 950s used spline bits. Unfortunately new parts are no longer available for these great machines. What is your problem.

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