Makita 9040L Sander User Manual


 
Operation
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and then
apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.
In
general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc
at an angle of about
15O
to
the workpiece
surface.
During the break-in period with a new wheel,
do not work the grinder in the
B
direction or
it will cut into the workpiece. Once the edge
of the wheel has been rounded off by use,
the wheel may be worked
in
both A and
B
directions.
WARN
I
NG
:
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.
Continued use of a worn-out wheel may result
in
wheel explosion and serious personal
injury. Depressed center wheel should not be used after
it
has been worn down to
115
mm
(4-1/2")
in diameter. Use
of
the wheel after this point
is
unsafe and
it
should
be removed from service and rendered unusable by intentional destruction.
