Operation; Maintenance; Optional Accessories - Makita 9741 Instruction Manual

OPERATION

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

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Replacing carbon brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace
when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only
identical carbon brushes. (Fig. 7)
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 8)
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
