Makita PC5000C Instruction Manual page 7

NOTE:
• After base adjustment, turn the three hex socket
head bolts on the base counterclockwise until
the heads are flush with the back side of the
base. Turn gently or base adjustment will be
thrown off.
Base adjustment to compensate for
wheel wear (for PC5001C only)
With long use, the diamond wheel will wear and thus
create a gap with the planing surface so that perfor-
mance becomes poor. Check the tool after every 4 or 5
hours of use.
If the wheel and base surfaces are not aligned, loosen
two hex socket head bolts securing the base. Turn
three hex socket head bolts on the base clockwise and
adjust the base so as to be level with the wheel surface.
Retighten firmly the hex socket head bolts securing
base and then lightly turn the hex socket head bolts
counterclockwise so that the hex socket head bolts do
not come loose during operation.
Dust cover adjustment
3
► 1. Raise 2. Lower 3. Dust cover 4. Screw
Loosen the screw. and adjust the dust cover's brush
level. The dust cover's brush should be either flush with
the diamond wheel surface or very slightly above (when
tool is inverted) 0.5 mm (0.020"). Suction/pickup will be
poor if they are not approximately on the same level.
After adjusting, be sure to tighten the screw firmly. To
adjust the dust cover, grip it on the outside; turn clock-
wise to raise, counterclockwise to lower.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.

Installing or removing diamond
wheel
1
► 1. Lock nut 2. Lock nut wrench 3. Diamond wheel
4. Shaft lock
To replace a worn diamond wheel with a new one, press
in the shaft lock to hold the shaft steady, then loosen
the lock nut counterclockwise with the lock nut wrench
provided.
Remove the worn diamond wheel.
To install a new one, follow the above removal proce-
dure in reverse.
When installing a diamond wheel, always make sure to
tighten the lock nut firmly.
NOTE:
• The ordinary diamond wheels on the market
have no exhaust holes, so dust evacuation
is poor. Also, if the installing hole is not of
the exact diameter, tool vibration occurs and
accidents can occur. ALWAYS USE A MAKITA
OFFSET DIAMOND WHEEL.
Replacing dust cover's brush
To remove the dust cover's brush from the dust cover,
grab an end of the dust cover's brush and take it out
slowly.
