Switch action (Fig. 5)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the “OFF”
position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trig-
ger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trigger and
then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the
locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it.
Operation (Fig. 6)
Hold the tool firmly with both hands on the handle and
the grip in front. Place the tool on the workpiece surface
and move the tool gently forward and backward while
applying slight downward pressure.
CAUTION:
• The tool should not be in contact with the workpiece
surface when you turn the tool on or off. Damage to the
tool or the workpiece surface and injury to the operator
may result.
• Apply slight downward pressure only. Excessive pres-
sure may decrease tool efficiency, shorten wheel ser-
vice life and possibly gouge the workpiece surface.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Replacement of carbon brushes (Fig. 7 & 8)
Replace carbon brushes when they are worn down to the
limit mark. Both identical carbon brushes should be
replaced at the same time.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, mainte-
nance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita
Authorized Service Center.
