OPERATION
CAUTION:
This tool should only be used on
horizontal surfaces.
CAUTION:
Be sure to hold the workpiece firmly
down on a stable bench or table during operation.
CAUTION:
Do not twist or force the tool in the
cut, or the motor may be overloaded or the work-
piece may break.
CAUTION:
Do not use the tool with the dia-
mond wheel in an upward or sideways position.
CAUTION:
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.
CAUTION:
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.
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 (3/16") thick, cut at about 250 mm/min
(9-7/8"/min). When cutting tile 10 mm (3/8") thick, cut
at about 300 mm/min (11-13/16"/min).) Also slow down
as you complete a cut to avoid breaking or cracking the
workpiece being cut.
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.
NOTE:
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.
NOTICE:
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 or Factory Service
