Maintenance - Makita 2414nb Instruction Manual

Operation
Hold the handle firmly. Switch on the tool and wait until
the wheel attains full speed before lowering gently into
the cut. When the wheel contacts the workpiece, gradu-
ally bear down on the handle to perform the cut. When
the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL
THE WHEEL HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP
before returning the handle to the fully elevated position.
CAUTION:
Proper handle pressure during cutting and maximum cut-
ting efficiency can be determined by the amount of
sparks that is produced while cutting. Your pressure on
the handle should be adjusted to produce the maximum
amount of sparks. Do not force the cut by applying exces-
sive pressure on the handle. Reduced cutting efficiency,
premature wheel wear, as well as, possible damage to
the tool, cut-off wheel or workpiece may result.
