Operation with abrasive cut-off wheel

(optional accessory)
WARNING:
When using an abrasive cut-off wheel, be sure to use
only the special wheel guard designed for use with cut-
off wheels.
NEVER use cut-off wheel for side grinding.
During cutting operations, never change the angle of the
wheel. Placing side pressure on the cut-off wheel (as in
grinding) will cause the wheel to crack and break, causing
serious personal injury.

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
The tool and its air vents have to be kept clean. Regularly
clean the tools air vents or whenever the vents start to
become obstructed.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, car-

nance or adjustment should be performed by Makita

replacement parts.
