OPERATION
Sanding operation
WARNING:
•
To reduce the risk of electric shock, check
the tool's water supply system to ensure
there is no damage to the seals ("O" rings)
or hoses. A damaged water supply system may
result in abnormal water flow to the tool which
could be dangerous.
•
When you connect a vacuum cleaner to the
offset-diamond-wheel cover, always use a
wet type. Using a dry type vacuum cleaner to
collect wet dust could result in electric shock,
fire and/or property damage.
CAUTION:
•
Always wear safety goggles or a face shield
during operation.
•
Never switch on the tool when it is in contact
with the workpiece, it may cause an injury to
operator.
•
Always use the abrasive disc together with the
rubber pad. Using the rubber pad by itself may
seriously damage the rubber pad.
•
When using the abrasive disc, make sure that
the dust cover is attached on the tool. Otherwise
water and dust come into the tool and it can
cause tool failure.
•
When using the offset diamond wheel, install
the offset-diamond-wheel cover. Contact with a
rotating wheel can result in serious injury.
•
The maximum permitted pressure of water
supply is 7 bar.
Make sure that the cock is closed. Connect the hose
to the tool. Make sure that water comes out when the
water lever is opened.
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and then apply the
abrasive disc to the workpiece.
When using an abrasive disc, keep the abrasive disc at
an angle of about 15° to the workpiece surface.
Apply slight pressure only. Excessive pressure will
result in poor performance and premature wear to
abrasive disc.
When using an offset diamond wheel, apply the offset
diamond wheel flat on the work surface.
NOTE:
•
The dust collection with a vacuum cleaner is
effective only when grinding a flat surface.
Planing in corners
Flush planing of corners is possible after first removing
the dust cover cap.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
NOTICE:
•
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
► 1. Exhaust vent 2. Inhalation vent
The tool and its air vents have to be kept clean.
Regularly clean the tool's air vents or whenever the
vents start to become obstructed.
Long use and operation of the tool using much water
causes buildup of dust inside the tool. To maintain the
product safety and operate the tool with high efficiency,
always check the exhaust vent at the back of tool.
When you find buildup of dust in that area, ask Makita
service center for cleaning inside of the tool. Never
disassemble or clean the inside of the tool by yourself.
Early request for cleaning is recommended at all times.
