Operation - Makita DCC500 Instruction Manual

OPERATION

CAUTION:
THIS TOOL SHOULD ONLY BE
USED ON HORIZONTAL SURFACES.
CAUTION:
Be sure to move the tool forward
in a straight line and gently. Forcing and exerting
excessive pressure or allowing the wheel to bend,
pinch or twist in the cut can cause overheating of the
motor and dangerous kickback of the tool.
Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on the workpiece
to be cut without the diamond wheel making any con-
tact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the diamond
wheel attains full speed. Now simply move the tool
forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and
advancing smoothly until the cutting is completed. Keep
your cutting line straight and your speed of advance
uniform.

Be sure to feed water to a wet-type
diamond wheel during wet cutting operations.
Wet cutting with water supply tank
CAUTION:
Avoid filling the water supply tank
with unclean water, such as muddy water, or else
the water outlet will be blocked resulting in dam-
age to the tool.
NOTICE:
Be sure to drain out water from the water
supply tank completely after each use.
1. Open the lid-cap of the water supply tank, and fill
the tank with water. Then set the water-filled tank in the
water supply holder of the tool.

3. Start feeding water to the diamond wheel by pull-
ing the water supply lever towards the "ON" (I) position.
Water flow can be adjusted by moving the water supply
lever. Turn the lever to the "ON" (I) position to increase
flow, and to the "OFF" (O) position to reduce flow.
