Makita Angle Grinder MAINTENANCE

•ALWAYS use guard with wire wheel brushes, assuring

diameter of wheel fits inside guard. Wheel can shatter

during use and guard helps to reduce chances of

personal injury.

Unplug tool and place it upside down allowing easy access

to spindle. Remove any accessories on spindle. Thread wire

wheel brush onto spindle and tighten with the wrenches.

When using wire wheel brush, avoid applying too much pres-

sure which causes over bending of wires, leading to prema-

ture breakage.

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.
