Maintenance - Makita 9741 Instruction Manual

Operation (Fig. 6)
Hold the machine firmly with both hands on the
handle and the grip in front. Place the machine on the
workpiece surface and move the machine gently
forward and backward while applying slight downward
pressure.
CAUTION:
• The machine should not be in contact with the
workpiece surface when you turn the machine on or
off. Damage to the machine or the workpiece sur-
face and injury to the operator may result.
• Apply slight downward pressure only. Excessive
pressure may decrease machine efficiency, shorten
wheel service life and possibly gouge the workpiece
