Removing or installing diamond wheel
(Fig. 5)
Hold the outer flange with the wrench and loosen the hex
bolt clockwise with the hex wrench. Then remove the hex
bolt, outer flange and diamond wheel.
To install the wheel, follow the removal procedure in
reverse. Always install the wheel so that the arrow on the
wheel points in the same direction as the arrow on the
blade case.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT SECURELY.
(Fig. 6)
CAUTION:
• Use only the Makita wrench and hex wrench to install
or remove the wheel.
Water flow (Fig. 7)
Loosen the wing bolt on the depth guide and move the
base down.
Attach the vinyl tube onto the water pipe.
Loosen the wing bolt which holds the pipe holder. Secure
the water pipe with the pipe holder by tightening the wing
bolt.
Attach the adapter on the vinyl tube to a faucet of water
mains pressure. Adjust the amount of water flow by simply
adjusting the water cock.
CAUTION:
• When adjusting depth of cut, also adjust the position of
water pipe. Otherwise, the diamond wheel may
damage the water pipe or the diamond when it does
not receive proper water flow.
OPERATION (Fig. 8)
Adjust the amount of water flow. Hold the tool firmly. Set
the base plate on the workpiece to be cut without the
wheel making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait
until the 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.
CAUTION:
• THIS TOOL SHOULD ONLY BE USED ON
HORIZONTAL SURFACES.
• 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.
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.
After use
Blow away dust from the inside of the tool by running the
tool at an idle for a while. Brush off accumulation of dust
on the base. Accumulation of dust in the motor or on the
base may cause a malfunction of the tool.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 9)
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. 10)
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.
