Operation (Fig. 9)
CAUTION:
After operation, always switch off the tool and wait
until the wheel has come to a complete stop before
putting the tool down.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on
and then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an
angle of about 15° – 30° to the workpiece surface.
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not
work the tool in the B direction or it will cut into the
workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been
rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in both
A and B directions.
WARNING:
• It should never be necessary to force the tool. The
weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Forc-
ing and excessive pressure could cause dangerous
wheel breakage.
• Continued use of a worn-out wheel may result in
wheel explosion and serious personal injury.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Repair and maintenance (Fig. 10)
The tool and its opening vents for cooling air have to
be always kept clean. When the foreign matters clog
such parts, they have to be taken off.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs,
maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by a
Makita Authorized Service Center.
