Operation; Cutting Capacity; Maintenance; Optional Accessories - Makita 2414nb Instruction Manual

If you use a spacer block which is slightly narrower than
the workpiece as shown in the figure, you can also utilize
the wheel economically. (Fig. 12)
Long workpieces must be supported by blocks of non-
flammable material on either side so that it will be level
with the base top. (Fig. 13)

OPERATION

Hold the handle firmly. Switch on the tool and wait until
the wheel attains full speed before lowering gently into the
cut. When the wheel contacts the workpiece, gradually
bear down on the handle to perform the cut. When the cut
is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE
WHEEL HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before
returning the handle to the fully elevated position.
CAUTION:
• Proper handle pressure during cutting and maximum
cutting efficiency can be determined by the amount of
sparks that is produced while cutting. Your pressure on
the handle should be adjusted to produce the
maximum amount of sparks. Do not force the cut by
applying excessive pressure on the handle. Reduced
cutting efficiency, premature wheel wear, as well as,
possible damage to the tool, cut-off wheel or workpiece
may result.

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 (Fig. 16)
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.
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. 17)
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.
