Electronic function
The tool is equipped with the electronic functions for
easy operation.
• Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric brake. If the
tool consistently fails to quickly cease to function
after the switch trigger is released, have the tool
serviced at a Makita service center.
• Constant speed control
The speed control function provides the constant
rotation speed regardless of load conditions.
• Active Feedback sensing Technology
The tool electronically detects situations in which
the cutting wheel may be at risk to be bound.
In the situation, the tool automatically stops to
prevent further rotation of the spindle (it does not
prevent kickback).
In this case, release the switch trigger first, remove
the cause of sudden drop in the rotation speed, and
then pull the switch trigger to restart the tool.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before carrying out any work on the tool.

Use only the Makita hex wrench
supplied to remove and install a cutting wheel.
CAUTION:
When installing a cutting wheel, be

When installing a diamond wheel for
its best performance, always make sure that the
arrows on the diamond wheel point in the same
direction as your desired wheel rotation.
To remove a cutting wheel, press the shaft lock fully so
that the cutting wheel cannot revolve and use the hex
wrench to loosen the hex bolt counterclockwise. Then
remove the hex bolt, outer flange and cutting wheel.

Installing and removing dust
collection cover
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wheel guard
is securely locked by the stopper inside the dust
collection cover before operation.
CAUTION:
Avoid using the dust collection
cover for metalwork which creates heats and fly-
ing sparks as it may melt the plastic components
of the dust collection cover.
The dust collection cover enhances safe and efficient
cutting operation, providing a safeguard against rotat-
ing wheel, cutting stability, precise control over cutting
depth, and dust extraction solutions, especially at tile,
plaster, stoneware cuttings.
Installing dust collection cover
1.
Loosen the thumb screw on the depth scale of the
dust collection cover. Lift the cover fully up, and then
