Operation; Maintenance; Optional Accessories - Makita 4112HS Instruction Manual

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Be sure to pull the tool when cutting a workpiece.
• Use this tool for straight line cutting only. Cutting curves
can cause stress cracks or fragmentation of the dia-
mond wheel and abrasive cut-off wheel resulting in
possible injury to persons in the vicinity.
• After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until
the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting
the tool down.
• When cutting concrete blocks, tiles or masonry materi-
als, do not make a cut in depth more than 60 mm.
When you need to cut a workpiece over 60 mm up to
100 mm, make more than two passes of cuts. The
depth of the most efficient cut is about 40 mm.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. First keep the wheel
without making any contact with a workpiece to be cut.
Then turn the tool on and wait until the wheel attains full
speed.
The cut is made by pulling the tool toward you (not by
pushing away from you). Align the notch on the base with
your cutting line when performing a cut.
Switch off the tool in the position posed when finishing a
cut. Raise the tool after the wheel comes to a complete
stop. (Fig. 6)

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.
Dressing diamond wheel
If the cutting action of the diamond wheel begins to
diminish, use an old discarded coarse grit bench grinder
wheel or concrete block to dress the diamond wheel. To
do this, tightly secure the bench grinder wheel or con-
crete block and cut in it.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 7 & 8)
When the resin insulating tip inside the carbon brush is
exposed to contact the commutator, it will automatically
shut off the motor. When this occurs, both carbon
brushes should be replaced. 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.
Pick up an end of the dust cover slightly with hands so
that brush holder cap appears.
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.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
