Maintenance - Makita GA4030 Instruction Manual

WARNING:
When using an abrasive cut-off / diamond wheel,
•
be sure to use only the special wheel guard
designed for use with cut-off wheels.
NEVER use cut-off wheel for side grinding.
•
Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive pressure.
•
Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the
cut and the possibility of kickback, wheel breakage
and overheating of the motor may occur.
Do not start the cutting operation in the workpiece.
•
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully enter
into the cut moving the tool forward over the
workpiece surface. The wheel may bind, walk up
or kickback if the power tool is started in the
workpiece.
During cutting operations, never change the angle
•
of the wheel. Placing side pressure on the cut-off
wheel (as in grinding) will cause the wheel to crack
and break, causing serious personal injury.
A diamond wheel shall be operated perpendicular
•
to the material being cut.
Operation with wire cup brush

CAUTION:
Check operation of brush by running tool with no
•
load, insuring that no one is in front of or in line with
brush.
Do not use brush that is damaged, or which is out
•
of balance. Use of damaged brush could increase
potential for injury from contact with broken brush
wires.
Unplug tool and place it upside down allowing easy
access to spindle. Remove any accessories on spindle.
Thread wire cup brush onto spindle and tighten with
supplied wrench. When using brush, avoid applying too
much pressure which causes over bending of wires,
leading to premature breakage.

CAUTION:
Check operation of wire wheel brush by running
•
tool with no load, insuring that no one is in front of
or in line with the wire wheel brush.
Do not use wire wheel brush that is damaged, or
•
which is out of balance. Use of damaged wire
wheel brush could increase potential for injury from
contact with broken wires.
ALWAYS use guard with wire wheel brushes,
•
assuring diameter of wheel fits inside guard. Wheel
can shatter during use and guard helps to reduce
chances of personal injury.
Unplug tool and place it upside down allowing easy
access to spindle. Remove any accessories on spindle.
Thread wire wheel brush onto spindle and tighten with
the wrenches.
When using wire wheel brush, avoid applying too much
pressure which causes over bending of wires, leading to
premature breakage.

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.
