Operation; Maintenance - Makita 906 Instruction Manual

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 the smaller wrench to hold the spindle and
the larger one to tighten the collet nut securely.
The wheel point should not be mounted more than
10 mm from the collet nut. Exceeding this distance could
cause vibration or a broken shaft.
To remove the wheel point, follow the installation proce-
dure in reverse.
CAUTION:
• Use the correct size collet cone for the wheel point
which you intend to use.

OPERATION

Turn the tool on without the wheel point making any con-
tact 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. (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
• Apply light pressure on the tool. Excessive pressure on
the tool will only cause a poor finish and overloading of
the motor.
• The wheel point continues to rotate after the tool is
switched off.
Dressing wheel point (Fig. 5)
When the wheel point becomes "loaded" with various bits
and particles, you should dress the wheel point with the
dressing stone.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
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.

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 mea-
sured 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.
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 oper-
ator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the
actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of
the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
