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.
CAUTION:
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.

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

serious injury.
1.
Always keep the tool tethered when working
"at height". Maximum lanyard length is 2 m.
The maximum permissible fall height for lan-
yard (tether strap) must not exceed 2 m.
2.
Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool
type and rated for at least 4.0 kg.
3.
Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on
your body or on movable components. Anchor
the tool lanyard to a rigid structure that can
withstand the forces of a dropped tool.
4.
Make sure the lanyard is properly secured at
each end prior to use.
5.
Inspect the tool and lanyard before each use
for damage and proper function (including
fabric and stitching). Do not use if damaged
or not functioning properly. The tool must be
repaired especially when a crack or a red line
appears around the hole for the lanyard.
6.
Do not wrap lanyards around or allow them to
come in contact with sharp or rough edges.
7.
Fasten the other end of the lanyard outside
the working area so that a falling tool is held
securely.
8.
Attach the lanyard so that the tool will move
away from the operator if it falls.
Dropped tools
will swing on the lanyard, which could cause injury
or loss of balance.
9.
Do not use near moving parts or running
machinery.
Failure to do so may result in a crush
or entanglement hazard.
10.
Do not carry the tool by the attachment device
or the lanyard.
11.
Only transfer the tool between your hands
while you are properly balanced.
12.
Do not attach lanyards to the tool in a way that
keeps guards, switches or lock-offs from oper
-
ating properly.
13.
Avoid getting tangled in the lanyard.
14.
Keep lanyard away from the cutting area of the
tool.
15.
Use a locking carabiner (multi-action and
screw gate type). Do not use single action
spring clip carabiners.
16.
In the event the tool is dropped, it must be
tagged and removed from service, and should
be inspected by a Makita Factory or Authorized
Service Center.
17.
Only attach the lanyard with a locking cara-
biner. Do not attach the lanyard by looping
