Installing or removing diamond wheel
Fig.9
To replace a worn diamond wheel with a new one, press
in the shaft lock to hold the shaft steady, then loosen the
lock nut counterclockwise with the lock nut wrench
provided.
Remove the worn diamond wheel.
To install a new one, follow the above removal
procedure in reverse.
When installing a diamond wheel, always make sure to
tighten the lock nut firmly.
NOTE:
The ordinary diamond wheels on the market have
•
no exhaust holes, so dust evacuation is poor. Also,
if the installing hole is not of the exact diameter,
tool vibration occurs and accidents can occur.
ALWAYS USE A MAKITA OFFSET DIAMOND
WHEEL.

brush. Repeat this action and insert all the remaining
