Removing or installing diamond wheel
(optional accessory)
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the diamond
wheel.
• Use only the Makita wrench to install or remove the
diamond wheel.
To remove the diamond wheel, hold the outer flange with
the wrench and loosen the hex bolt clockwise with the hex
wrench. Then remove the hex bolt, outer flange and
diamond wheel. (Fig. 4)
To install the diamond wheel, follow the removal
procedure in reverse. Always install the diamond wheel so
that the arrow on the diamond wheel points in the same
direction as the arrow on the blade case. BE SURE TO
TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT COUNTERCLOCKWISE
SECURELY. (Fig. 5)
Hex wrench storage (Fig. 6)
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.
Water flow (Optional accessory) (Fig. 7)
First, unplug the tool. Loosen the wing bolt on the depth
guide and move the base down. Install the water pipe on
the blade case and secure it by the screw.
Attach the vinyl tube onto the water pipe and attach the
adapter on the vinyl tube to a faucet of water mains
pressure. Adjust the amount of water flow by simply
adjusting the water cock.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• THIS TOOL SHOULD ONLY BE USED ON
HORIZONTAL SURFACES.
• Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line and
gently. Forcing and exerting excessive pressure or
allowing the diamond wheel to bend, pinch or twist in
the cut can cause overheating of the motor and
dangerous kickback of the tool.
Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on the workpiece to
be cut without the diamond wheel making any contact.
Then turn the tool on and wait until the diamond wheel
attains full speed. (Fig. 8)
Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece
surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the
cutting is completed. Keep your cutting line straight and
your speed of advance uniform.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
