Installing or removing diamond wheel
(Fig. 6)
CAUTION:
• When installing the diamond wheel, be sure to tighten
the bolt securely.
• Use only the Makita wrench to install or remove the
diamond wheel.
To remove the diamond wheel, press the shaft lock fully
so that the diamond wheel cannot revolve and use the
wrench to loosen the hex bolt counterclockwise. Then
remove the hex bolt, outer flange and diamond wheel.
(Fig. 7)
To install the diamond wheel, follow the removal
procedure in reverse. Always install the diamond wheel so
that the arrow on the diamond wheel points in the same
direction as the arrow on the diamond wheel case.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT SECURELY.
(Fig. 8)
NOTE:
• If a inner flange is removed by chance, install the inner
flange so that its protrusion (bigger side) faces inside
as shown in the figure.
Hex wrench storage (Fig. 9)
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.
Installing water supply
Loosen the screw A. Slide the tank holder all the way over
the motor housing. Position the notch of the tank holder
positions just below the screw head as illustrated. Then
tighten the screw A. (Fig. 10)
Attach the tank on the tank holder so that the tank holder
fits between the step and dots. Connect the cap on the
tube end to the mouth of the tank. Turn the tank
clockwise. Then tighten the screw B. (Fig. 11)
Water supply (Fig. 12 & 13)
Be sure that the water supply cock is closed before filling
the tank with water. Open the cap on the tank and fill the
water. Recap the tank.
CAUTION:
• When filling the tank with water, be careful not to let the
tool get wet.
OPERATION (Fig. 14)
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.
Feed water to the wheel by adjusting the water supply
cock to obtain a gentle flow of water. 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.
For fine, clean cuts, cut slowly. (When cutting glass plate
5 mm thick, cut at about 250 mm/min. When cutting tile
10 mm thick, cut at about 300 mm/min.) Also slow down
as you complete a cut to avoid breaking or cracking the
workpiece being cut.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to hold the workpiece firmly down on a stable
bench or table during operation.
• Do not twist or force the tool in the cut, or the motor
may be overloaded or the workpiece may break.
• Do not use the tool with the diamond wheel in an
upward or sideways position.
• The wheel for this tool is a wet-type diamond wheel for
glass and tile applications. Be sure to feed water to the
diamond wheel during operation.
• If the cutting action of the diamond wheel begins to
diminish, dress the cutting edge of the wheel using an
old discarded coarse grit bench grinder wheel or
concrete block. Dress by pressing lightly on the outer
edge of the diamond wheel.
NOTE:
• When the battery cartridge temperature is low, the tool
may not work to its full capacity. At this time, for
example, use the tool for a light-duty cut for a while
until the battery cartridge warms up as high as room
temperature. Then, the tool can work to its full capacity.
• Make sure that the water supply cock is closed before
operation.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
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.
