FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Switch action (Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the slide switch actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when the rear of the slide switch is
depressed.
To start the tool, slide the slide switch toward the "I (ON)"
position. For continuous operation, press the front of the
slide switch to lock it.
To stop the tool, press the rear of the slide switch, then
slide it toward the "O (OFF)" position.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing wheel point
(Fig. 2 & 3)
Loosen the collet nut and insert the wheel point into the
collet nut. Use one wrench to hold the spindle and the
other one to tighten the collet nut securely.
The wheel point should not be mounted more than 8 mm
from the collet nut. Exceeding this distance could cause
vibration or a broken shaft.
To remove the wheel point, follow the installation
procedure in reverse.
CAUTION:
• Use the correct size collet cone for the wheel point
which you intend to use.
Side handle (optional accessory) (Fig. 4)
When using the side handle, remove the rubber protector,
insert the side handle on the tool barrel as far as it will go
and rotate it to the desired angle. Then tighten the handle
firmly by turning clockwise.
CAUTION:
• When using the tool without handle, always install the
rubber protector on the tool.
• When installing the rubber protector, always push it
onto the tool until the protrusion inside the rubber fits to
the grooves in the tool.
OPERATION (Fig. 5)
Turn the tool on without the wheel point making any
contact with the workpiece and wait until the wheel point
attains full speed. Then apply the wheel point to the
workpiece gently. To obtain a good finish, move the tool in
the leftward direction slowly.
CAUTION:
• Apply light pressure on the tool. Excessive pressure on
the tool will only cause a poor finish and overloading of
the motor.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other
maintenance or adjustment should be performed by
Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita
replacement parts.

NOTE:
• Some items in the list may be included in the tool
package as standard accessories. They may differ
from country to country.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN60745:
Sound pressure level (L
Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A)
The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A).
Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN60745:
Work mode: surface grinding
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s
• The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with the standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
• The declared vibration emission value is used for main
applications of the power tool. However if the power
tool is used for other applications, the vibration
emission value may be different.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared emission value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in
the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts
