Use only the Makita hex wrench
supplied to remove and install a cutting wheel.
CAUTION:
When installing a cutting wheel, be

When installing a diamond wheel for
its best performance, always make sure that the
arrows on the diamond wheel point in the same
direction as your desired wheel rotation.
To remove a cutting wheel, press the shaft lock fully so
that the cutting wheel cannot revolve and use the hex

Installing and removing dust
collection cover
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wheel guard
is securely locked by the stopper inside the dust
collection cover before operation.
CAUTION:
Avoid using the dust collection
cover for metalwork which creates heats and fly-
ing sparks as it may melt the plastic components
of the dust collection cover.
The dust collection cover enhances safe and efficient
cutting operation, providing a safeguard against rotat-
ing wheel, cutting stability, precise control over cutting
depth, and dust extraction solutions, especially at tile,
plaster, stoneware cuttings.
Installing dust collection cover
1.
Loosen the thumb screw on the depth scale of the
dust collection cover. Lift the cover fully up, and then
