Maintenance - Makita 9560C Instruction Manual

Installing side grip (auxiliary handle) (Fig. 3)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the side grip.
Always install the side grip on the tool securely before
operation. The side grip can be installed on either side of
the tool, whichever is convenient and keeps the guard
properly positioned. Always hold the tool's switch handle
and the side grip firmly with both hands during operation.
Shaft lock (Fig. 4)
Press the shaft lock to prevent spindle rotation when
installing or removing accessories.
CAUTION:
Never actuate the shaft lock when the spindle is moving.
The tool may be damaged.
Installing or removing depressed center wheel
(Fig. 5 & 6)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the wheel.
Mount the inner flange onto the spindle. Fit the wheel on
over the inner flange and screw the lock nut onto the
spindle.
To tighten the lock nut, press the shaft lock firmly so that
the spindle cannot revolve, then use the lock nut wrench
and securely tighten clockwise. To remove the wheel, fol-
low the installation procedure in reverse.
Switch action (Fig. 7)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
switch actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" posi-
tion when the side of the switch lever is depressed.
To start the tool, slide the switch lever to "I" position.
For continuous operation, depress the front of the switch
lever and then slide to "I" position as above. The switch is
locked on the position for continuous operation. To stop
the tool from the locked position, slide the switch lever to
"O" position with depressing the rear of the switch lever.
Speed adjusting dial (For model 9560CV, 9561CV,
9562CV, 9563CV, 9564CV, 9565CV) (Fig. 8)
The rotating speed can be changed by turning the speed
adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 5.
Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the
direction of number 5. And lower speed is obtained when
it is turned in the direction of number 1. Refer to the table
below for the relationship between the number settings
on the dial and the approximate rotating speed.

CAUTION:
• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a
long time, the motor will get overloaded and heated up.
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5
and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed
adjusting function may no longer work.
The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to
operate because of the following features.
• Constant speed control
Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed.
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed
is kept constantly even under the loaded condition.
• Soft start feature
Safety and soft start because of suppressed starting
shock.
• Overload protector
When the tool would be employed over the admissible
load, it will stop automatically to protect the motor and
wheel. When the load will come to the admissible level
again, the tool can be started automatically.
Operation (Fig. 9)
CAUTION:
After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until
the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting the
tool down.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on and
then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an angle
of about 15° – 30° to the workpiece surface. During the
break-in period with a new wheel, do not work the tool in
the B direction or it will cut into the workpiece. Once the
edge of the wheel has been rounded off by use, the
wheel may be worked in both A and B directions.
WARNING:
• It should never be necessary to force the tool. The
weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Forcing
and excessive pressure could cause dangerous wheel
breakage.
• Continued use of a worn-out wheel may result in wheel
explosion and serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Repair and maintenance (Fig. 10)
The tool and its opening vents for cooling air have to be
always kept clean. When the foreign matters clog such
parts, they have to be taken off.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, mainte-
nance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita
Authorized Service Center.
