24. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.

Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Use only three-wire extension cords that have three­prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. Replace or repair damaged or worn cord
immediately. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the
gage number, the heavier the cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The
tool is equipped with a three-conductor cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fit the
proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is
the grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
Your unit is for use on 120 volts and has a plug that looks like Fig. “A”.

4

An adapter Fig. “B” and “C” is available for connecting Fig. “A” type plugs to two-prong
receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, etc., extending from the adapter must be con­nected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box.

and shock the operator.

3. Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT
safety glasses.

4. Use only flanges specified for this tool.

Contact with a “live” wire will

5. NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades
or other sawblades. Such blades when
used on a sander frequently kick and
cause loss of control leading to personal
injury.

6. Hold the tool firmly.

7. Keep hands away from rotating parts.

8. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the
flange (especially the installing surface)
or the lock nut. Damage to these parts
could result in wheel breakage.

9. Make sure the abrasive disc or the wheel
is not contacting the workpiece before the
switch is turned on.

10. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool
so that sparks fly away from you and other
persons or flammable materials.

11. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the
tool only when hand-held.

12. Do not touch the workpiece immediately
after operation; it may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.

13. Ventilate your work area adequately when
you perform sanding operations.

14. ALWAYS wear proper apparel including
long sleeve shirts, leather gloves and
shop aprons to protect skin from contact
with hot grindings.

OPERATION

AB

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.

• ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while grinding.

• NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto work.

• Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially
when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can cause
loss of control and kickback.

• NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and other
sawblades. Such blades when used on a grinder
frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to
personal injury.

CAUTION:

• After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until
the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting
the tool down.

001129

Grinding and sanding operation

ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on rear handle
and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool on and then
apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.

Operation with wire cup brush
(optional accessory)

CAUTION:

• Check operation of brush by running tool with no load,
insuring that no one is in front of or in line with brush.

• Do not use brush that is damaged, or which is out of
balance. Use of damaged brush could increase potential
for injury from contact with broken brush wires.

Unplug tool and place it upside down allowing easy access
to spindle. Remove any accessories on spindle. Mount ure­thane washer then thread wire cup brush onto spindle and
tighten with supplied wrench. When using brush, avoid
applying too much pressure which causes over bending of
wires, leading to premature breakage.

NOTE:

• When using wire cup brush, mount urethane washer to
the spindle. It will make it easier to remove wire cup
brush.

001236

Operation with wire wheel brush
(optional accessory)

CAUTION:

• Check operation of wire wheel brush by running tool with
no load, insuring that no one is in front of or in line with
the wire wheel brush.

• Do not use wire wheel brush that is damaged, or which
is out of balance. Use of damaged wire wheel brush
could increase potential for injury from contact with
broken wires.

• ALWAYS use guard with wire wheel brushes, assuring
diameter of wheel fits inside guard. Wheel can shatter
during use and guard helps to reduce chances of
personal injury.

Unplug tool and place it upside down allowing easy access
to spindle. Remove any accessories on spindle. Thread wire
wheel brush onto spindle and tighten with the wrenches.

WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

MAKITA LIMITED ONE YEAR WARRANTY

Warranty Policy

Every Makita tool is thoroughly inspected and tested before leaving the factory. It is warranted to be free of
