Functional Description - Makita 9741 Instruction Manual

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entanglement
of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may result in
personal injury.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

Adjusting front roller (Fig. 1)
The front roller allows you to apply uniform pressure to the
workpiece. To adjust the front roller, set the tool on a flat
surface and loosen the wing nut. Adjust the front roller up
or down until the clearance distance (D) is about 2 mm.
Tighten the wing nut securely.

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing wheel
To remove the wheel, insert one hex wrench into the end
of the spindle and another hex wrench into the end of the
output shaft. Turn the hex wrench in the output shaft
clockwise while securely holding the hex wrench in the
spindle so that the wheel cannot revolve. Pull the output
shaft out from the wheel. Move the wheel slightly away
from the spindle and remove the wheel from the tool.
(Fig. 3)
NOTE:
• The output shaft has a left hand thread.
To install the wheel, follow the removal procedures in
reverse. When installing it, be sure to align the notches in
the wheel with the pins on the spindle. (Fig. 4)
Connecting to dust collector (Fig. 5)
The use of a dust collector makes sanding operations
clean and dust collection easy. To connect a dust
collector, open the dust port by sliding the cover plate up
and in a clockwise direction. Attach the joint onto the dust
port. Now a dust collector can be connected to this tool.
CAUTION:
• When not using a dust collector, close the dust port
opening with the cover plate.
