Operation; Optional Accessories; Maintenance - Makita 2416S 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,
gradually 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 maxi-
mum cutting 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 excessive pressure
on the handle. Reduced cutting efficiency, pre-
mature wheel wear, as well as, possible damage
to the tool, cut-off wheel or workpiece may
result.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
